The 2009 Tacoma College & Career Fair was a big success! We had about 175 colleges and about 2500 visitors! I haven’t seen the final official list of colleges, but for now you can see the last update at tiny.cc/Tacoma_Fair_List.

I made these graphs from data on the NCAA web site (see the url at the end of this post) in response to an email I received from another counselor this morning. It’s no surprise that so many young people, especially young men, think professional sports will be their ticket to prosperity. Too frequently, those with the strongest belief in their ability to beat the odds are those least willing to work hard in the classroom. I hope you find this useful.

I’m trying to decide if I should keep using this bolg, or just use the one on my website. For now, I’ll keep using both for now. Here’s the RSS for the blog on my Your College Fit site – yourcollegefit.com/YCF/Blog/rss.xml

Here’s a link to the most recently posted list of colleges registered for the 2009 Tacoma College & Career Fair – 2009 Tacoma College & Career Fair updated 10/2/09. We’re up to about 125 colleges and there are still more that have expressed an interest and may still register. Here’s a link to a map from downtown Tacoma to the University of Puget Sound’s Tennis Pavilion where the fair will be held on Monday, October 19th, from 5PM until 8PM.
