CLIFTON FORGE — Dabney S. Lancaster Community College will host its annual College Night on Wednesday, Sept. 25, from 6 to 7:30 p.m. in the Armory/Convocation Center on the DSLCC campus in Clifton Forge. The event is free and open to the public.
Representatives from over 50 colleges, universities, specialized training providers and the military have been invited to participate in the event. Those planning to attend include four-year institutions such as Virginia Tech, Radford University, Old Dominion University, James Madison University, Hollins University, Roanoke College, Ferrum College, Longwood University, University of Virginia and the Jefferson College of Health Sciences, as well as several occupational and technical schools.
Each institution will have information on its programs of study, tuition and fees, admission requirements and financial aid programs.
DSLCC also will provide information explaining the Guaranteed Admissions Agreements (GAA) that are in place with over 30 four-year colleges and universities. Under these GAA, qualified students may enter four-year colleges and universities in selected majors with junior status.
The college will also have information about application requirements for the Jackson River Governor’s School and the DSLCC Educational Foundation, a source of student scholarships to assist qualified students with the cost of attending DSLCC.
A special focus of this year’s College Night will be colleges and universities offering programs for adult learners who seek to earn a bachelors degree.
DSLCC houses a program called Adult Career Pathways which offers career counseling for those who are unemployed or underemployed in a field that does match their goals for job satisfaction and earning potential.
