Colleges that Change Lives - College Fair in Bethesda, MD on May 19, 2016

Colleges that Change Lives (CTCL) is a non-profit organization founded based on the ideals of Loren Pope, who wrote the original college guide with the same name. The organization supports the goal of each student finding a college that develops a lifelong love of learning and provides the foundation for a successful and fulfilling life beyond college. According to the CTCL website:

In following Mr. Pope’s ideals, we believe that the criteria most college bound students and their parents and counselors use, such as name and prestige, do not acknowledge the importance of understanding an individual student’s needs and how they 'fit' with the mission and identity of an individual college community.

The Bethesda program will be held from 7pm-9pm on Thursday, May 19, 2016 at the Bethesda North Marriott Hotel & Conference Center (5701 Marinelli Road). The program begins promptly at 7 p.m. with a 30-minute information session, and a college fair begins immediately afterwards, lasting approximately 1.5 hours. This program is offered to the public free of charge. No pre-registration is required.
