RISLA's College Planning Center of Rhode Island (CPCRI) is once again hosting its annual College Fair after a two-year pause due to the COVID-19 pandemic.  

The College Fair will be held this year at Roger Williams Park Zoo on Wednesday, August 31 from 6:00 - 8:00 PM.

Students will have the opportunity to speak with college representatives from several local and out-of-state colleges and universities to have their questions answered about college student life.

About Fair

All high school students - even students that aren't sure if college is right for them - are encouraged to attend. Admission to the college fair is free and plenty of free parking is available. The event will take place, rain or shine.

"Much is at stake for students as studies have shown college graduates earn higher salaries and experience lower unemployment rates than those without a college degree," said Stacy Crooks, Director of CPCRI. "Choosing a college wisely can mean the difference between graduating and dropping out, so students need to do their research before sending in applications."

"Students should be open-minded as they start their college search and learn as much as possible about colleges so they make informed decisions about where to apply," added Crooks. 

Those who attend the College Fair will be eligible to participate in a drawing for one or more $1,000 scholarships.  While the registration qualifies as the entry, students must be in attendance to win.

Register today here.  

The College Planning Center is a free service to assist students and parents in preparing, planning and paying for education, provided by RISLA, The Rhode Island Student Loan Authority.

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post Posted: 05 Jun 2016 12:00 AM PDT With exacting precision, the surgeon inserted the scalpel above the eyeball and cut out a snotty deposit of fatty tissue. The routine eye-lift was nearly complete when suddenly the patient awoke, suffocating, and began to flop about on the table. The audience gasped. Knowing time was of the essence, the surgeon scooped up the patient in his arms, raced across the stage, and dropped her into a tank of water. She revived. Because she was a fish. Yes, fish eye-lifts exist. As do fin jobs and tail tucks. The operating theater was a mall in Jakarta, Indonesia, where a pet expo was under way. As for the patient, she survived, her formerly droopy eyes now bright and perky. A good thing, too, as this was no ordinary goldfish but rather an Asian arowana, the world's most expensive aquarium denizen, rumored to sell for as mu

Catching Dory: selling aquarium fish supports coastal livelihoods in Indonesia | npj Ocean Sustainability - Nature.com

Abstract The global marine aquarium trade has created new local markets across the planet, including in Indonesia, now the second-largest exporting country of marine aquarium fish in the world. Participating in the global aquarium trade has been touted as a potentially sustainable addition to fisher livelihoods, but scant data exist showing the numbers of fish coming off the reef and how those fish contribute to income. To determine how participants in the trade incorporate aquarium species in their livelihoods, we examine source-level aquarium fish collecting and trading data in the Banggai Archipelago, a region in Central Sulawesi that has become a significant source for popular aquarium, also known as ornamental, fish species. Using a sustainable livelihoods lens, we examine this data to understand how participants in the aquarium trade both contribute to as well as benefit from the trade and consider how their participation relates to emerging Blue Justice principles.
