The Hayner Public Library District is offering a question-and-answer session on what college-bound high school students need to do to prepare for college: What tests do I need to take? How do I apply for scholarships? What can I do to make the transition from high school to college easier? How soon should I start applying to colleges? What’s the difference between a 2-year college and a 4-year university? What sort of long-term goals should I have before choosing a college? I’m in a 2-year college; how do I transition to a 4-year college? All of these questions and more can be answered in your quest to continue your education. It is a tricky field to navigate, and having extra information can make a big difference.

Dr. Brad Noble from Southern Illinois University–Edwardsville is the moderator of this session, providing guidance to those who are lost when it comes to college. He can also answer general questions about majors, especially in the hard sciences areas.

Dr. Noble earned a doctorate from Washington University in St. Louis, has won several teaching awards, and has served on many scholarship committees. Since 1996 he has been a member of the faculty in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at SIUE, where he has taught 19 different classes, three of which he developed. He co-authored a successful patent in 2013.

This program is for high school students, current college students, and their parents, or anyone else who may have questions about college. Be prepared to take notes! This program will be held Monday, March 14, 6:00–7:30 p.m. in the Multipurpose Room at the Alton Square location. Please call 1-800-613-3163 to reserve your spot.
