FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Thomas More University and Northern Kentucky University to Co-Host Northern Kentucky Regional College Fair
Approximately 50 colleges and universities will gather at Thomas More University on September 29 to help students and families explore postsecondary opportunities
CRESTVIEW HILLS, Ky. — Thomas More University and Northern Kentucky University will co-host the Northern Kentucky Regional College Fair on Tuesday, September 29, 2026, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. at the Connor Convocation Center on the campus of Thomas More University.
The event is open to high school students and their families and will bring together representatives from approximately 50 local and regional colleges and universities for an evening dedicated to helping students explore their options after high school.
For students who are just beginning the college search, as well as those working to narrow their choices, the Northern Kentucky Regional College Fair provides an opportunity to explore a variety of institutions in one location. Students and families can speak directly with college admission representatives, ask questions about the admission process, learn about academic programs, discuss scholarships and financial aid, explore campus opportunities, and discover colleges they may not have previously considered.
The fair reflects a collaborative effort between Thomas More University and Northern Kentucky University to provide students throughout Northern Kentucky and the Greater Cincinnati region with greater access to information and resources as they make decisions about their futures.
Students Encouraged to Register Before the Fair
Students attending the fair are encouraged to register in advance for a StriveScan barcode at StriveFair.com.
Rather than completing individual information cards at each college table, students can present their personal barcode to representatives from the colleges and universities they are interested in learning more about. Representatives can scan the barcode, allowing students to quickly share their information and spend more time having meaningful conversations.
The day following the fair, participating students will receive a report containing information about the colleges and organizations with which they connected. The report can also serve as a useful resource for students, families, school counselors, and college and career coaches as they continue conversations about postsecondary options.
StriveScan does not sell or share student information with third parties, and students remain in control of the institutions with which they choose to share their information.
