Last day of the fair, tuition cost comparisons and an alumni success story

Fairgoers checking out the college cost comparison chart.

I can’t believe the last day of the fair already! I’ve had a great time talking with people at the booth and, of course, spinning the Wheel of Luck!

Today is “bargain day” at the fair, which means most vendors are selling items for a discounted price. How does that relate to our booth?

The Minnesota State Colleges and Universities system is proud to share tuition costs with prospective students, because the system’s colleges and universities provide a more affordable education than other public and private institutions in the state.

Tuition at the system’s two-year colleges is under $4,799 per year, and it is under $6,507 per year at our four-year universities. Talk about a real bargain!

Shonda and Bobby Moody stopped by the booth today. Both are proud graduates of Anoka Technical College.

Anoka Technical College alums Shonda and Bobby Moody stopped in to say hello today. They are both graduates of Anoka Tech’s Supervisory Management program. Shonda told me that when she landed a job at Eco-Lab, the company informed her that it was due to her training and technical education.

While in college, Shonda was president of Anoka Tech’s Phi Theta Kappa chapter, and she also attributes her career success to her experiences in the honor society.

That’s all for this year! I hope you have found some helpful information and, most importantly, don’t forget to visit us next year at the fair!
