Western Texas College to Host 2026 College Fair September 24 - KCBD

The event pulls together representatives from colleges, universities, technical schools, specialized programs and military branches under one roof. Last year's fair drew Isrell Lawson, WTC's Welcome Center and Enrollment Outreach Director, who spent the morning talking through options with prospective students. Face time like that matters for people trying to figure out what comes after high school, especially when the choices range from a four-year degree to a trade certificate to enlistment.

For families across the region, the fair cuts down on the guesswork. Instead of driving from campus to campus or scrolling through a dozen websites, students can walk a gym floor and ask direct questions to admissions staff, recruiters and program coordinators in a single two-hour window.

It costs nothing to attend and takes no appointment, just two hours on a Thursday morning that could shape where someone spends the next four years, or the next four weeks of basic training.
