On Thursday, October 6, from 6-7:30 pm, Berkley High School hosted a College & Career Fair for students and their families. In the past, this event was hosted during the school day and each class walked through the event throughout the day. This year, College & Career Center Counselors Christina Belsky changed it to an evening event to allow families to be involved in the conversations. Students and families registered ahead of time through a platform called Strive Scan and as they visited booths, they checked in using a QR code. The day after the Fair, all participants received emails from Strive Scan with contact information for the booths they visited, allowing the connections to continue after the event.
