Committee on Diversity and Multicultural Affairs”

On October 19th, 2013 the Associated Medical Schools of New York (AMSNY) worked with the Bronx/Manhattan C/STEP Region to host the 4th Annual College Fair at the City College of New York.

50 colleges and universities were present, giving students the opportunity to meet with admissions representatives from across the East Coast region. In addition to speaking with admissions representatives, students also received an array of useful resources to assist them in their college decision-making process.

Parents and students also participated in workshop offerings throughout the day. Workshops included Admissions 101 and an alumni panel who discussed the high school to college transition.

The Science and Technology Entry Program (STEP) and the Collegiate Science and Technology Program (CSTEP) are opportunity programs funded by the New York State Education Department. Both programs serve a population of highly motivated educationally, economically and underrepresented high-school and college students. These students are interested in entering the fields of science, technology, medicine or the allied health professions.
