The event, which is free and open to the public, will also include drawings for scholarships. Students can learn more about what Aberdeen has to offer, from restaurants, entertainment, products and services, churches and so much more.
The event provides a chance for businesses to promote their products and services and potentially find employees. It also gives the community a chance to interact with NSU and PC students and learn more about each other.
Planning for the event has been a collaborative effort that has included the Aberdeen Area Chamber of Commerce, Aberdeen Downtown Association, Northern State University, Presentation College and iHELP Student Loan/Student Loan Finance Corporation.
