Niagara College, along with 23 other Ontario colleges, is participating in the Ontario College Virtual Fair (OCVF), happening on Wednesday, November 4 from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m., and Thursday, November 5, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
The information fair, which is traditionally held in-person, provides a platform for prospective students to learn everything they need to know about college in one place. This year, the event will be delivered in a fully interactive virtual environment where participants will engage with college representatives using personalized avatars, 3D audio technology and text chat.
Niagara College has over 80 faculty and staff participating in the OCVF, which has been designed to mirror an in-person event with each participating college receiving their own booth space, just like the set up at a live recruitment event.
"Niagara College is looking forward to participating in this reimagined event for prospective students," said Phil Hayes, NC's associate director, Recruitment. "This highly interactive fair provides an engaging opportunity for our faculty and staff to share information about Niagara College's trailblazing programs. Our avatars are ready to connect with participants!"
Participants can expect to:
- Learn about careers available and which college programs will best prepare them for those careers;
- Find out about unique programs that can only be offered at Ontario colleges;
- Get more information on how and when to apply;
- Hear about campus life, housing, and student services.
