For area students who are beginning the college search process, the annual Illinois Regional College Fair will be hosted by Western Illinois University Tuesday, Sept. 21. The fair, which will be held from 6-7:30 p.m. in the University Union Grand Ballroom on the WIU-Macomb campus, will feature representatives from WIU and approximately 50 public and private Midwestern universities.

Students are required to register prior to attending the fair. Registration is free, and students will receive a unique barcode that college and university representatives can scan, saving students time from completing individual information cards. To register, visit strivefair.com.
