Super Sunday College Fairs

The Kentucky Community and Technical College System is one of 16 colleges hosting a statewide Super Sunday College Fair on Feb. 27 to recognize African-American alumni of its colleges and to recruit minority students and alert families who don't believe higher education is for them.

The event is based on a very successful initiative at California State University, which has hosted its fair since 2005.

The Kentucky events will be held in churches in the communities where the colleges are located. The Lexington fair will be at Consolidated Baptist Church, 1625 Russell Cave Road.
