MAHWAH, N.J. –   Ramapo College of New Jersey will be the new home of the Bergen County College Fair thanks to a new partnership between Ramapo and the Bergen County Directors of Guidance.  The 30^th annual Bergen County College Fair will be held at Ramapo’s Bill Bradley Center Arena on Wednesday, March 16 from 6:00-9:00 p.m.

High school students are encouraged to register in advance at www.StriveFair.com but can attend without a reservation.

“The Bergen County Directors of Guidance, which represents the close to 50 high schools in Bergen County, is absolutely ecstatic about our new partnership with Ramapo College. After the last few years where the contact students have had with admissions representatives has been limited, the first ‘live’ college fair is going to be spectacular,” said Dominick Gliatta, President of the Bergen County Directors of Guidance and Director of School Counseling at Mahwah High School.  “We have approximately 200 representatives from colleges, universities, trade schools, and the military who will be on hand to answer any and all questions students and parents may have.”

Christopher Romano, Vice President of Enrollment Management and Student Affairs at Ramapo College, added, “We could not be happier to partner with the Bergen County Directors of Guidance on this event and honored to be the host of it.  Finding the right fit for your undergraduate education is so much more than having a positive response to an institution’s advertisement or web presence; it is about determining how and where you will be valued, developed, and challenged so that, at the conclusion of your studies, you are well-equipped to experience a return on your investment.”

“Our goal was to make this more than just a college fair,” Gliatta added, noting that Financial Aid Office at Ramapo College will be on hand to discuss some of the elements that go into the cost of a post-secondary education. “In addition, Dr. Evan Chait of Kinetic Rehab and Spine of Ramsey and his team will be giving out massages and tips on mental health for students as they navigate this stress inducing process.”

Romano shared, “For students and families, they’ll have the ability to not only meet Ramapo admissions representatives, but get a chance to see our beautiful campus and learn some of the key questions they need to ask and steps they need to take for both college admissions and financial aid.  These are essential steps for students, regardless of where they ultimately enroll, and the Ramapo College community looks forward to hosting and welcoming all students and families to our campus on March 16.”
