“Last year”s event was a huge success,” Candie Dickinson, Career and Transfer Center director, said. “More than 20 universities and colleges attended and met with hundreds of college and high school students. High school students were able to explore the option of coming to Mendocino College and then transferring to a four-year university, or going directly to a university after graduating from high school.
