Events 2008

A celebration of academic achievement, member events are open to all members and their immediate family at no charge. Mr. Nobel participates in the events as a featured speaker, and also meets and greets members. Advisory board members are invited to attend (participation depends on their individual schedules). We'll be traveling from coast to coast with Mr. Nobel, recognizing students, connecting with college admissions officers from the top universities, and perusing career fairs with exhibits from outstanding corporations. Make sure to mark your calendars for these incredible events that will mature you as a scholar and build your resume and transcripts for college. You may contact Bess Toups with any questions about member events.
