Fair. This semester’s event is Aug. 21.
To connect students to local resources and services, Meridian Community College will host its Community Resource Fair on Tuesday, Aug. 21, from 9 a.m. to noon in Ivy-Scaggs Hall.
Attendees can explore various community organizations and service providers, learn about resources available for education, healthcare, employment, and housing, and talk with representatives from different agencies.
There are more than 20 agencies who will be attending.
“This is one of my favorite events,” said Shaquita Hopson Alfonso, associate director of military and veteran services and C2C coach, about the fair, which the College hosts in the fall and spring semesters. “Bringing in other people and resources makes a difference for our students,” she said.
She added, “There are so many things MCC can help students with – and we have many MCC representatives at the fair. The Community Resource Fair allows us to give students connections for help.”
