“The Macon County College & Career Fair is a great opportunity for juniors and seniors to begin thinking about their plans after high school,â€� said Jordan Diver ’21, Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAPP’s Director of Events and Communication. “Seeing so many students connect with college and career-ready organizations was a wonderful reflection of the interest students have in exploring what comes next.â€�
