Dear Colleague:

The Rhode Island Association of Admission Officers, in conjunction with the Rhode Island high schools, public and private, will be sponsoring the 32nd Annual Regional College Fair.  The program will be hosted at the Community College of Rhode Island in Warwick, Rhode Island, on Sunday, October 19, 2008 from 1:00 to 3:30 p.m.(please note the time change).

Students from all sixty-two Rhode Island high schools and several schools in nearby Connecticut and Massachusetts will be invited to meet with college representatives from across the United States.  Over 225 institutions, from Providence, RI to Honolulu, HI, participated in last year’s college fair attracting more than 5,000 high school students and parents.

The program will begin promptly at 1:00 p.m. and will conclude at 3:30 p.m.  Table displays are allowed, but should not exceed 18” in height or 36” in length (large-scale displays will not be permitted).  A financial aid presentation will be offered for students and families attending the college fair. Lunch will also be available before and during the fair.

Due to the tremendous attendance in past years, we request that at least one of your representatives be a member of your school’s professional staff.

The RIAAO Fair will be the only regional college fair program in Rhode Island during Fall 2008 and has been endorsed by the National Association of College Admission Counselors (NACAC).

Please complete the enclosed registration form indicating whether or not you will be joining us.  Your check in the amount of $200.00, made payable to RIAAO, must be returned with the registration sheet to the RIAAO Clearinghouse Coordinator. A response will be considered valid only if all of this information is received.  The reply date is September 1, 2008Registrations and payments received after September 1st will be considered tardy and assessed a $25 late charge.  No refunds will be issued for cancellations of attendance after October 15, 2008.

We are looking forward to your participation in the fair.  If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at (401) 232-6108.  RIAAO’s tax ID# is #223027084.
