Institutions from 20 States and District of Columbia Represented at Illinois College Exposition

Chicago high school students and their parents will have the opportunity to visit with representatives from 115 colleges and universities from around the country at the Illinois College Exposition, hosted at 6 p.m. March 22 at DePaul University’s Lincoln Park Campus Student Center, 2250 N. Sheffield Ave.

For the first time ever, the event, sponsored by the Illinois Association for College Admission Counseling, is specifically aimed at public and private high school students in the City of Chicago. Participants will have the opportunity to visit with the schools’ representatives, learn about programs and campus activities and discuss admission requirements and other questions about their institutions.

Admission is free, and no pre-registration is required. Use of public transportation is encouraged, as the Student Center is one block south of the Fullerton CTA L stop (Red, Brown and Purple lines). Limited parking is available at the Sheffield Garage, 2331 N. Sheffield, and at the parking deck south of the intersection of Clifton and Fullerton avenues, just three blocks west of Sheffield.

With a total enrollment of 23,149 students on two city and four suburban campuses, DePaul is the largest Catholic university in the nation and the largest private, not-for-profit university in the Midwest. DePaul is an innovative and diverse university offering pragmatic educational programs that instill values, including a commitment to community service.
