While Henrico County Public Schools’ College and Career Night isn’t exactly time travel, students will have a chance to consider possible futures when they attend the Oct. 21 event. Students and their families can talk with representatives of:

Nearly 100 two- and four-year colleges and universities.
Branches of the military.
Professional training programs.
Employers, such as local businesses and government agencies.

The countywide event will take place from 6-8 p.m. at the HCPS Adult Education Center inside Regency Mall. Interpreters will be available at the event. There will also be representatives present to discuss financial aid, scholarships and other resources to support students pursuing a variety of postsecondary paths.

HCPS College and Career Night

Who: Henrico County students of all ages and their families are invited.

Where: HCPS Adult Education Center at Regency, 1420 N. Parham Road, Henrico VA 23229 (lower level of Regency Mall; enter via rear entrance beneath parking deck.)

The event uses preregistration barcodes to help families make the most of their time. Before the event, students should go to https://app.strivescan.com/visit to fill out a brief questionnaire and get a personal barcode they can share. When they find colleges at the event that pique their interest, students can quickly transfer their contact information by having their personal barcode scanned. The feature helps reduce crowds in the aisles, as students stop to fill out information cards for colleges.

College and Career Night is sponsored by HCPS in partnership with the Virginia Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers.
