AUBURN — The Auburn Public Library will hold College Night from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Monday, Oct. 21, in the Androscoggin Community Room.

Designed to provide information early in the college process to teens and their parents, the event will feature representatives from area colleges and universities, including Bates College, CMMC’s College of Nursing and Health Professions, Central Maine Community College, Kaplan University, University of Southern Maine Portland and Gorham campuses and USM’s Lewiston/Auburn College.

The evening will begin with a panel discussion facilitated by Joan Macri of College for ME Androscoggin.

Whether a teen is in middle school, just starting high school or a senior applying for college, it is hoped that this evening will start them thinking about their future and/or provide answers to some of the many questions which arise as they begin talking about and looking at colleges.

Topics will include taking appropriate courses in middle and high school, thinking ahead about career areas, costs of college (FAFSA, FAFSA Forecaster), types of colleges and degrees, and the application process/Common Application.

If time permits, this will be followed by a brief Q&A session. The evening will conclude with a mini college fair. Each admissions representative will be available with specific information about their schools and programs.
