Utica Academy held its first College Fair

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.

We thank all colleges representatives who helped us to make it happen.
