College and Military Visitors to the CRC

Each year, we have over 100 college representatives come to Maine West.  They are here to see you, the student, and to tell you about their school and programs.  This is a great opportunity to learn about schools you are unfamiliar with without ever leaving Des Plaines!  You can compare information about big schools, midsize schools, small schools, and schools in different parts of the country.

These are usually small group discussions, and you have plenty of opportunities to ask questions and speak to the representative.  Often, this is the same person who reads the college applications, so it is a good connection to make!

Juniors and seniors are invited to attend.  If you have a free period, you can simply scan into the LRC and come back to the CRC.  For those of you who have a class, you must get permission to attend from your teacher.  You will need to have the teacher sign a “College/Military Visit Pass.”  These are located at the front desk of the LRC and also right outside the CRC doors.  If you like, you can print out a sheet for your use (see documents to the right). 

The list for visitors to the CRC is posted in such a way that you can look at the visitors for upcoming days.  Give your teachers plenty of notice.

Check back often!  In the fall and spring colleges are added each week as they call and schedule appointments.
