“I am so happy to see so many of our students take advantage of the opportunity to speak with college and career representatives,” said Soozi Allder, the event’s coordinator. “Our students are well-prepared and focused on learning the requirements for admission to college or entering a career field…and meeting those requirements. All of our representatives have commented on how well-prepared students from Loudoun County are…and that they look forward to working with us each year.”

Students preparing for careers questioned representatives about aviation, the arts, banking, biotechnology, education, engineering, health-related fields, information technology, law enforcement and careers in the military.
