COLLEGE VISITS AT IHS!
Students interested in attending should sign up in the Career
Center. Juniors and Seniors who wish to attend a visit during one of their
classes must ask the teacher for their OK. At the end of the presentation
we give the students at "back to class" pass so that they can prove attendance.
Sophomores are encouraged to attend when the visit matches their lunch period. The
majority of college visits happen Sept - Dec. We post the list of visiting
schools below, after the visit date they are deleted from the list.
List as of October 10, 2009:
Each school name is hyperlinked to go
directly to that colleges' website for more information! *
Items are
newly added!
YELLOW highlighted items have date or time changes.
College Events NOT at IHS:
The IHS Career Center posts this information
from flyers we receive. Many additional colleges hold events in our area.
Student should go to the websites of all the schools they may be interested in
and fill out the online "get more information" section. Expressing
interest in a college is a positive thing because it shows the school you are
interested and pro-active and gives the university the opportunity to invite you
to all kinds of events.
