High school juniors and seniors from San Juan, Grand, Emery, Duchesne and Carbon counties listened to presentations, watched demonstrations from USU-CEU faculty members, and visited shops to look at equipment and facilities. A key goal of the event was to help students learn about career opportunities and understand the steps they can take now to prepare for future careers. Russell Goodrich expressed thanks to faculty members, high school CTE directors and high school counselors for their great support. He also recognized Betty Hassell, the pathways coordinator, for the hours she and Amanda Alderson spent planning and organizing the event. The CTE fair is a great USU-CEU tradition and a fun opportunity for high school students to meet and learn from experts at the college.
