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.

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

Reviews: Horrified SeaQuest Aquarium Visitors Tell All | PETA - PETA Reviews: Horrified SeaQuest Aquarium Visitors Tell All | PETA - PETA Posted: 21 Sep 2020 12:00 AM PDT SeaQuest aquariums—which are owned by Vince Covino—are plagued by issues: animal deaths, legal violations, injuries to employees and members of the public from direct contact with animals, and customer reviews that'll make your jaw drop (and not in a good way). So if you've ever considered visiting a SeaQuest location or any other Covino-operated aquarium, do yourself and animals a favor: Learn from these TripAdvisor and Yelp reviewers. At SeaQuest Folsom in California, an otter was apparently whacked with a broom. "This place smells the animals look tortured and starved. I'm not a fan of this place. Took my family and we ran out of there. … We will never go back. Also we saw an employee wack an otter with a broom. … If you love animals you will hate t
