Posted on Oct. 30: CPEC hosting Continuing Your Education Fair today

Eight out of every 10 students that visit a career counselor in the Career Planning and Employment Centre (CPEC) are looking to further their education beyond McMaster, according to CPEC stats.

That's one reason Heather Hines, CPEC events and marketing co-ordinator, feels today's Continuing Your Education Fair is so valuable.

“The Continuing Your Education Fair offers students the chance to speak with admissions and liaison personnel about the programs they have to offer,” says Hines. “A great number of McMaster students are interested in further studies after their first degree, so the fair brings some of the possibilities right to their doorstep.”

More than 50 schools will participate in the fair on Wednesday, Oct. 30 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the atrium of the McMaster University Student Centre, including a school from the United Kingdom. For a list of the participating organizations visit

CPEC's newest publication Staying in school a little longer… The Ultimate Ontario Guide to Continuing Your Education, is also being launched today. “The book is a comprehensive resource detailing more than 300 programs in Ontario that students can enroll in upon completion of a degree,” says Hines. The book will be for sale at the fair and is available to students for $3.
