Attending a college and university fair in person is time consuming. The crowds and speaker presentations can make the fair overwhelming. But what if you could attend a university fair without ever having to travel there and stand in lineups?
This is what Macleans.ca has created Maclean's OnCampus Virtual Fair. This virtual online event should make the worrisome task of deciding on a school a lot easier for students since this feature will give them instant access to faculty experts and representatives from Canadian universities and colleges. All students need is their laptop or desktop computer, no cash required.
Tony Kellar, Maclean's managing editor of special projects, is looking forward to the virtual fair.
"We've created an online event that will give students from anywhere in the world an unparalleled level of direct, instant access to experts from Canadian colleges and universities," said Kellar. "Plus, they can get practical advice and inspiration from our incredible lineup of speakers."
The guest speakers will have the opportunity to speak for an hour each. Some of the speakers include: Vincent Lam, an emergency room physician and Giller-prize-winning author of Bloodletting and Miraculous Cures; Canadian astronaut Julie Payette; Jeff Rybak, student and author of What's Wrong with University: And How to Make it Work for You Anyway; Colin MacDonald, lead singer of The Trews; and Dr. Richard Heinzl, founder of the Nobel Prize-winning Doctors Without Borders Canada.
Each presentation by the guest speakers will include a question and answer period that will be open to all of the fair's visitors.
With Maclean's Online Campus Fair, prospective students can visit university and college booths and pick up information from each school. Chatting with peers and instantly asking questions to educational experts all takes place in an instant without ever laying down any fees.
The Maclean's OnCampus Virtual Fair will take place on October 22 from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. (EST).
In order for potential students to register and enter the fair, they must go to www.macleans.ca/oncampusfair.
