College Information Bureau - CIB

The College Caravan is now part of NOCHE’s College Information Bureau!

NOCHE, in partnership with admissions offices, regional school districts, and other college access professionals, has developed a College Information Bureau. This new program will consist of two separate elements:

• an online resource repository and networking/communication tool for secondary and higher education professionals, college access professionals, parents, and interested community members;
• regional events designed to increase college readiness of pre-college students.

The CIB regional events will feature educational workshops and a College Caravan and career fair component where students and parents will have the opportunity to personally speak with admissions representatives from Northeast Ohio colleges and universities, businesses, and community youth programs. Students, parents, education professional, and community stakeholders are invited to attend these events!
