ABOUT THE FAIR

My Turn to Learn is an in-mall college fair designed for
non-traditional students, to encourage them to pursue or complete their bachelor's degree. My Turn to Learn will bring colleges and institutions that finance higher education face-to-face with non-traditional students in a friendly, low-key environment.

Volunteers from several Massachusetts branches of AAUW - the American Association of University Women, are organizing the event.

"We are holding My Turn to Learn in a public place where prospective non-traditional students will be shopping with their families," organizer and AAUW Taunton Branch President Beryl Domingo explained. "We'll invite them to stop by and talk to representatives from local colleges. We want them to leave the fair believing it's possible to go back and finish that degree, or to start down the road toward that goal. We also want to make sure they know that their efforts will make a big difference in their lives, financially as well as personally. We hope they will learn that financing their higher education is within reach."
