15 Lutheran colleges plan winter/spring 'fairs'

Fifteen Lutheran college fairs are planned for locations around the country 
this winter and spring.

Representatives of the schools will be on hand with information about 
Lutheran colleges and universities, including the Missouri Synod's 10 
Concordia University System schools. Most fairs will feature career 
planning and financial-aid seminars.

Sponsored by the Lutheran Education Conference of North America (LECNA), 
the fairs are primarily for high-school sophomores and juniors, along with 
their parents. Funding for the fairs is from the LECNA-member schools and 
Thrivent Financial for Lutherans.
