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.

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.

Families can also attend informative workshops on earning college credit in high school, applying for financial aid, and understanding NCAA recruiting and scholarships. Representatives from college student services departments will share resources for students with 504 Plans and IEPs to support a successful transition to higher education.
