Several informational fairs, aimed at students seeking jobs or college transfer opportunities, will be conducted in April by West Virginia Northern Community College.

Free and open to the public, the events include “Explore Your Potential: 2013 Career & Transfer Fair” to be held from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Thursday, April 11, in the B&O Building auditorium on the downtown Wheeling campus.
