This annual event is held in Spanish and English.
It provides people of all ages with information about Vol State degree programs, ESOL classes, financial aid and admissions. Spanish-speaking Vol State advisors work one-on-one with potential students and parents. We call it "Hispanic Family Night" because we encourage the entire family to come and visit. We’ll have refreshments and activities for the kids.
