Newport-Mesa Unified School District (NMUSD) invites students and families to discover their future possibilities at the College & Career Fair on October 22, 2025, from 6–8 p.m. at the OC Fair & Event Center in Costa Mesa.

Open to all students and their families, this free event is an opportunity to explore college programs, connect with admissions specialists from colleges and universities from across the country and around the world, and learn about NMUSD’s Career Technical Education (CTE) pathways.

Returning this year is the Pathway Playground, an interactive area designed to introduce current NMUSD students to the CTE pathways available at the middle school level. Through hands-on activities, they will have the opportunity to discover interests and skills that can guide their future education and career plans.

Attendees can also meet business and industry professionals to learn more about the career paths open to them. Families are invited to attend workshops on topics such as earning college credit while in high school, applying for financial aid, and NCAA recruiting eligibility and scholarships.

Free bus service will be available from Whittier Elementary School, Wilson Elementary School, and SOY; for additional information, please visit our website. For service times and permission slips, please see your School Community Facilitator.
