ESCANABA -- Bay College will host the return of the Stay Local, Go Far! college fair starting Monday at the Escanaba Campus and continuing Tuesday in Iron Mountain.

More than 35 colleges, universities, military services and trade schools are expected to take part, according to a Bay news release.

The first college night will be 5:30 to 7 p.m. Eastern time Monday in the Besse Center Galleries at the Bay College Escanaba Campus.

Tuesday will be 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Central time in the Lower Commons of the Bay College Iron Mountain Campus.

Stay Local, Go Far! is an opportunity to meet with representatives from participating institutions to learn about the programs and services they offered. Whether a high school student, currently enrolled as a college student or simply curious about post-secondary education or trade options, this is a chance to see what's out there and get questions answered, Bay states in the release.
