Thousands attend Fresh Coast Classic College Fair

January 17, 2014

Fresh Coast Classic student college scholarship recipients were honored Wednesday, November 27 during the 2013 FCC College Fair by Milwaukee Public Schools Superintendent Gregory Thornton; Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett; Milwaukee Ald. Willie Wade, Dawn and Victor Barnett of Running Rebels; and presenting sponsor Barry Mandel. Sponsors Molina Healthcare, Northwestern Mutual and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee were also recognized.
Thousands of students attended this year’s fair, which exposes students as young as 2nd grade to college opportunities including Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) and local institutions of higher education.
The fair, which was created in 2007 by Running Rebels, was organized this year through MPS’ TEAMUP College Access Centers, located at 27th & Fond du Lac and 27th & Morgan, which provide counselors and programming to demystify college for thousands of Milwaukee students. The centers served 3,600 students last year.
