On Tuesday, March 13, Tuesday, 2018, Utica Academy of Science held first annual College Fair in the high school gym.

We believe that college fairs are unique opportunities for our scholars to meet college admission representatives face to face and begin the process of thinking and determining college. It provides great help to start searching process or narrowing down to college options. For our first fair, there were 15 different colleges present and 6 different colleges who could not attend but sent materials for representation. We thank all colleges representatives who helped us to make it happen.
