Colorful tri-fold boards displayed classes available for sophomores and juniors in the next year, ranging from core classes, like the Social Sciences and Chemistry, to electives, like Media Literacy and Business. Seniors nervously waited beside the boards, ready to endorse the courses they’ve taken. Then, finally, the first students arrived.
They made their way to the large posters on one end of the Grand Hall, which listed what classes to consider based on their desired profession. Then, students navigated the maze of classes, listening to how you can sleep in on most days as an AP Human Geography student or how you can get an easy A in a business class. On a more serious note, they spoke with seniors, teachers, and CCC advisors about their future plans, scribbling down their final class choices. On the way out of the Grand Hall, a dissected cat laid at the Advanced Physiology table with a line of students excitedly donning gloves to touch it while admiring a small snake slithering up the walls of its cage.

Next, students entered the soft seating area, where an array of electives awaited to meet them, like theater, e-sports, and leadership. General information about AP classes and TCC concurrent enrollment was available as well for students looking to challenge themselves the following year with the added bonus of earning college credit.
The final stop was the College and Career Center. Students explored the possibility of immersing themselves in their future careers through Tulsa Tech and a variety of internships. Even culinary experiences were present as students stopped by to sample some pasta made by students currently participating in Union’s culinary internship program.
The Enrollment Fair, in all, was a great success! The CCC staff was thrilled to have “heard so many great conversations between younger students and [their] student expert volunteers.”
For any sophomores and juniors still hesitant about their choices or what a class will really be like, feel free to contact your CCC counselors, talk to your teachers, or reach out to seniors to ensure you are content with and excited for your future courses.
