EMCC Reality Fair

Some area high school students had the opportunity to get a jump on choosing a career field Thursday.

It was the 4th annual event for the EMCC Mayhew Campus to showcase all they have to offer. Representatives of all of the college’s career-technical and academic programs were on hand to answer questions. Area students spent time going from booth to booth learning about everything from nursing to engineering.

High School senior Baleigh Studdard says, “I’m goining into nursing and just to be able to see them doing stuff on dummies, dummies that move. It was very informative. I feel like I learned a lot.”

The Reality Fair had more than 900 area high school students participate in the event.
