St. Petersburg College hosts fair at Gibbs High School

In an effort to promote interest in our technology programs, the College of Computer & Information Technology (CCIT) hosted a college fair at Gibbs High School on Wednesday March 23.

The CCIT faculty and staff provided students with pamphlets and flyers that explained the programs. A PowerPoint presentation entitled “Technology Through the Years” was also presented. It featured some of the latest gadgets such as the iPhone and iPad, and gave a history of early innovations in technology.

This was apropos since St. Petersburg College strives to stay ahead of the pack to keep up with industry standards.

Though some students are only halfway through their high school career, the fair provided them with the opportunity to look into SPC’s Dual Enrollment Program through which students can earn college credit for courses taken while they are still in high school. It’s a great way to get a jumpstart on college.

Overall, students expressed much enthusiasm for the programs.
