Colleges That Change Lives - Portland
Jumpstart or continue your college search with CTCL in 2026! You’ll learn how to keep YOU at the center of the search and have a chance to connect with admission officers from our 45+ distinctly different CTCL member institutions.
Each program opens with a 30-minute presentation on the student-centered college search, the value of the liberal arts, and an overview of what makes this collection of schools distinctly different.
After the opening presentation, attendees are invited to attend a 90-minute college fair. The fair provides students, families, and college access professionals with an opportunity to connect directly with admission officers from the CTCL member schools.
