Kishwaukee College is hosting its annual College Night on Wednesday, November 5, from 6:30 – 8:00 p.m. in the College gymnasium with a special presentation at 6:00 p.m. and again at 7:00 p.m. in Jenkins Auditorium on financing a college education. There is also a presentation on the Engineering- Mathematics-Science Academy at 6:00 p.m. and a Career Technologies and Health and Education Information Session at 6:30p.m. in Jenkins Auditorium.
Each year, Kishwaukee College partners with area high schools to host College Night to give prospective students a chance to comparison shop post-high school programs, colleges, and universities while gathering information on academic programs, admissions requirements, and financial aid for several schools at once. At this year’s event, representatives from over 50 institutions, including colleges, universities, military programs, and trade schools, will be on hand to provide information materials and applications and answer questions. College shoppers will have access to representatives from Illinois schools as well as several out-of-state institutions from Iowa, Michigan, Wisconsin, and New York. The event is also recommended for Kishwaukee College students who are preparing to transfer to a four-year university.
One of College Night’s most popular events is the financial aid presentation and question and answer session. The financial aid presentation has been widely attended at College Night in recent years, leaving standing room only in the auditorium. This year, a second session has been added at 7:00 p.m. to accommodate a larger number of parents and students.
There will also be an informational meeting on the Engineering-Mathematics-Science Academy (EMSA) for high school juniors who are currently enrolled in pre-calculus and their parents in Room A1273, the Conference Center Dining Room, from 6:00 – 7:00 p.m. High school students who are currently juniors and are interested in pursuing engineering or other math/science based majors participate in EMSA during their senior year in high school during which they would take a series of college level calculus and physics courses at Kishwaukee College to earn up to 26 hours of college credit while simultaneously finishing high school.
