Columbia State Community College recently hosted a college fair for Maury County high school students.

"We were honored to host this event again for the county,” said Jolene Gairrett, Columbia State coordinator of enrollment services processes. “The goal is to showcase the different college options available to Maury County high school students. Columbia State has hosted this event for several years.”

The event is held every year for approximately 1,000 Maury County high school students to meet colleges and universities from the region and help them visualize their future.

In addition to high school students and school counselors, 30 colleges and universities were represented at the event, including Columbia State, Middle Tennessee State University, the University of Tennessee, Austin Peay State University and the University of Alabama.
