Whether students are college-bound already or feeling uncertain about their future, they can discover the opportunities available close to home or across the country during College Exploration Day, Friday, April 26, 2019, at the University of Minnesota Crookston. Check-in begins at 10 a.m. in the Prairie Room, Sargeant Student Center. Students in grades 9-12 are welcome to attend.
