Counselors, principals, headmasters, superintendents, parents and officials of institutions represented in the fairs are also urged to attend. Students prefer presentations to cover information, which cannot be found in publications: transitions to college, academic climate, student regulations, financial aid, housing, and social and religious activities. Information should be supplied in sufficient quantities to give one to each interested student. *IMAGE: Each representative should keep in mind that actions during PROBE activities reflect not only his or her own situation, but other representatives and their institution as well. *NACAC PRINCIPLES OF GOOD PRACTICE have been adopted by GEAC as a guide. Representatives should be familiar with and abide by them. *PROMPTNESS is important. Representatives should be on time for the program (set up at least 15 to 30 minutes before) and should remain until the end. Keep in mind rush hour traffic problems. *A CONFLICT OR EMERGENCY may arise which prevents a representative from attending a particular program. The event host should be notified if this occurs. *TABLE COVERS ARE REQUIRED for all institutions that participate in PROBE. These should be covers appropriate for 6 foot tables and must cover the entire tabletop. Some Programs will require table covers to the floor on three sides. Representatives arriving at programs without tablecloths will be required to get one or will be asked to leave the program. *AUDIO and VIDEO EQUIPMENT are not permitted at fair and workshops. *SMOKING is not permitted by College Representatives at display tables during PROBE events. *ALL CORRESPODENCE to participating institutions from PROBE will be addressed to Director of Admissions. 4 5

14 GUIDELINES FOR FAIR HOSTS 1. High school counselors hosting fairs should contact other local school counselors regarding PROBE to assist in getting additional schools to attend. 2. Submit all contracts and bills to GEAC for approval or payment. (Notify the GEAC office of any proposed expenses that will total in excess of $50.) 3. Refer all requests for attendance to post-secondary institutions to GEAC only nonproprietary (non-profit) institutions are invited to participate. No military recruitments allowed except by ROTC and the Military academies. 4. Instructions for publicity are included in your fair host packet. This will generally include poster distribution (other that the high schools), contacting area guidance counselors, and contacting the local media (outside the metro Atlanta area). Please refer to your host publicity instructions. 5. Send listing of attending institutions (after received from GEAC office) to local area counselors for distribution to students. 6. Hosts are responsible for setting up of tables and chairs in all school locations. Setup should be completed at least one hour before the fair begins to allow representatives time for arranging displays. 7. Each institution should be provided a separate table and chair whenever possible. 8. Institutional arrangement (set-up) must be in alphabetical order, including a merging of in-state and out-of-state schools. Extra space may be given to institutions with large drawing power, but they should still remain in their alphabetical position. As much as possible, all other institutions should be given equal space. A list of attending institutions will be sent to you at least one week prior to your fair. A diagram (program) of institutional arrangement should be made available to students and other guest. 9. Should an institutional representative appear who is not on the list, local hosts have the authority to admit or refuse admission. 10. It is helpful if you can provide some type of refreshment for the college reps at least something to drink. GEAC will be glad to reimburse you for any nominal expense incurred in providing these refreshments. 11. For fairs in non-school locations consult GEAC s special instructions for mall and civic center hosts. (You should receive this in your host packet). 12. Submit Fair Report Form to GEAC following the event, include in this all bills and receipts and complete information for payment of bills, as well as suggestions for future PROBE fairs. Thanks for your help! GUIDELINES FOR WORKSHOP HOSTS 1. GEAC has made reservations at all facilities. 2. Appoint any committee help that is needed. 3. A week or two before your workshop send a reminder invitation to local counselors, or call them. 4. The PROBE Workshop Committee will work with individual workshop hosts to arrange the program.

15 HISTORY OF THE GEORGIA COLLEGE DAY TOUR Following World War II, Harold Bixler, director of Guidance for the City of Atlanta Public Schools, initiated an organized College Day Program for the carious high schools of Atlanta. This program was later administered by E.L. Floyd, former principal of Boys High School and then by Ben Gibson, subsequently with the Southern Regional Office of the Georgia Board. In 1950, under the direction of Bill Row of West Georgia College, the Georgia Association of Colleges recognized the need for an organized program of high school visitations throughout the state. This need was felt because high schools were asking colleges to visit them on a haphazard basis, and college representatives were requesting entry into the high schools at different times during the year. The original schedule was established so that representatives could move throughout the state with ease and without a great deal of overlapping and so that only one program would be held at the same time. Originally, programs were either held during the school day, after school, or at night. Many of the day programs were held in the local churches. Some programs were of the fair type where all the representatives were either the gymnasium or cafeteria. Some of the programs were a regular three period schedule of thirty minutes each, while some had an assembly program, which preceded the regular program. A few programs had luncheons or dinners in connection with them. In 1960 the University of Georgia was asked to take over the administration of the College Day schedule and did so changing the coordination from the Georgia Association of Colleges to the Georgia Education Association. M.O. Phelps and the University Admissions office assumed the responsibility for making out the schedule and the Georgia Education Association distributed the schedule to high schools, colleges, and vocational technical schools and hospitals schools of nursing. The College Day Committee was composed of the college representatives from the Georgia Association of School Counselors. This committee approved the program and handled the business concerning the programs. Between 1960 and 1965 more and more programs were consolidated, and gradually most of the programs were held at night. Attempts were made at various times during these years to have counselor s conferences along with the programs, and several of these were held and some of them were more or less successful. Around 1966 the administration of the College Day schedule was accepted by LaGrange College. The administration of these programs stayed at LaGrange College for two years and was moved back to the University of Georgia s admissions office took over the administration of the program and organized the Articulation Committee, which was composed of representatives from various organizations interested in secondary and high education. About this time, attendance at the College Day Programs began falling off, so various experiments were held to try to improve participation. An attempt was made to have the schedule in the spring, particularly aimed at high school juniors. This experiment met with limited success. Other attempts were made to hold the College Day Programs on college campuses. This too was successful in some areas, and not as well received in others. One of the first projects of the Articulation Committee was a workshop for high school counselors, which was held at Rock Eagle. This workshop had excellent potential. But only about twenty counselors attended, so the extent of the participation was limited. The small number of counselors was probably due to the fact that counselors or their schools had to pay their own expenses. In 1969 the Articulation Committee asked the Georgia Education Improvement Council (GEIC) to take over the sponsorship of the activities of the Articulation Committee. Ed Martin, Executive Director, assumed the chairmanship of the now established Georgia Education Articulation Committee. A project was introduced whereby assembly programs would be held in selected high schools in the general area of the host College Night program. This idea produced limited success. In 1971 the Articulation Committee sponsored a series of counselor luncheons throughout the state. These luncheons were fairly well attended and in some cases were quite effective. The Articulation Committee also sponsored four thirty-minute movies for educational television. These programs were entitled Colleges, Colleges, Colleges, Fort Valley State, Oxford College, LaGrange College and Georgia College participated in these television productions. The Articulation Committee through the GEIC co-sponsored the Certificate of Merit Program with the University of Georgia for several years. Under the leadership of GEIC, PROBE: A Look into Post secondary Education, became the official theme of the varied articulation activities involving secondary and post secondary education. What had been a new version in 1971 of College Day/Night programs has now become a traditional approach to articulation between high school and colleges, state vocational technical schools of nursing. As a result of the reorganization of Georgia State Government, the GEIC was transferred to the General Assembly and consequently in 1972 relinquished leadership to the Articulation Committee. In 1972, Lloyd Joyner, Registrar and Director of Admissions of Georgia Southern College, assumed the chairmanship of the Georgia Education Articulation Committee. Georgia Southern College also provided the necessary administrative and logistical support. During Mr. Joyner s chairmanship, the work of GEAC was conducted by an extensive committee structure involving many professional educators from throughout the state. These committee members were chosen from both secondary and post secondary levels of education. During the period of time between 1972 and 1980, the number of fairs and mini-fairs offered throughout the state increased. The fairs, held primarily in shopping malls and civic centers in the larger cities and metropolitan areas, reached increasingly larger numbers of high school students and their parents. The mini fairs, conducted in high schools, continued to serve the less densely populated areas of the state during school hours. The conselor workshops held around the state increased in popularity and provided high school counselors the opportunity to interact ith college representatives as well as to attend formal informational sessions. Mr. Lloyd Joyner retired from Georgia Southern College in March of As a result of his retirement, the chairmanship of GEAC was changed. George Stanbury, Dean of Admissions of Georgia State University, who held office for two years with Erin O Brien as treasurer, then assumed the chairmanship. In January of 1983 Thomas McDonald, Vice Chancellor of the University System of Georgia, was elected President of the now incorporated GEAC, following Dr. Stanbury s leaving the GSU Admissions Office. The Administrative support for GEAC remained at Georgia State University for four years. In September of 1984 the GEAC office was moved back to the University of Georgia with Erin O Brien as treasurer. In 1992 the administrative coordinator and support was moved to North Georgia College with Bill Smith as treasurer. In 2001, Bill Smith retired from North Georiga and was made Executive Director
