Some universityies will also have table top displays and representatives available for questions.

At 7 p.m. in the Willow Cafe, CLC Engineering professors will present a general overview of the engineering college search process, giving advice on how to research schools, the application process, college costs, choosing a major, and more.

From 7:30-8:40 p.m. students and their parents may visit university breakout sessions (two sessions at 30 minutes each) to learn more about the participating college and university programs. The CLC Engineering Transfer program will be hosting sessions in the Baxter Innovation Lab (T120/121) and will include information on guaranteed admission partnerships with UIUC (Engineering Pathways), UIC, and NIU. Representatives from area universities typically include Bradley, University of Illinois-Chicago (UIC), Illinois Tech (IIT), Iowa State, Northern Illinois University (NIU), University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), UW-Milwaukee, Michigan Tech, and Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE).
