Southeast to sponsor Career and Transfer Fair, event to be held on Cumberland, Middlesboro and Whitesburg campuses

The Transfer Fair is set to begin March 4 in Newman Hall on the Cumberland campus beginning at 10 a.m. and concluding at 2 p.m. On March 6, the fair moves to the SKCTC Whitesburg campus in Caudill Hall. The event comes to a conclusion March 7 at the Middlesboro campus, and will be held in the Welch Science and Technology Building, running from 10 a.m. until 2 oclock.
Event coordinator Margaret Billings noted the fair gives SKCTC students the chance to speak with counselors and collect information pertaining to financial aid, application deadlines and the opportunity to collect appropriate information about enrolling in a specific four-year college.
This is the first Transfer Fair solely run by Southeast, she said. Hopefully, it will be a big success with many of our students attending. By holding the fair at locations in Cumberland, Whitesburg and Middlesboro, we are hopeful we will be able to reach many of our student population.
The Career and Transfer Center at Southeast has offices on each of its campuses at Harlan, Pineville, Middlesboro, Whitesburg and Cumberland. Joe Sutton serves the Middlesboro campus, Ron Brunty is at Whitesburg and Tony Sweatt serves in Harlan. Ms. Billings travels weekly to all campuses.
