Description

The Lima Educational Field Trip will offer a variety of activities to introduce and promote HBCU options and opportunities. This year we will attend the Classic for Columbus (CFC) on August 28, 2021. CFC is a celebration of educational, existential, and cultural programs held in downtown Columbus, Ohio. Festivities also include a multicultural Jamboree Festival, Battle of The Bands and a rivalry football game between two Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). The football game between Central State University from Ohio and Kentucky State University will be played at The Ohio Stadium on Saturday, August 28. “Classic For Columbus is a family-friendly event with something for everyone,” said John Pace, CEO for Classic For Columbus, highlighting the college and career fair that he said will offer opportunities for entry and management level employment in several career fields. Pace noted that during the pandemic college visits have been prohibited. “We plan to showcase the full spectrum of universities and their college life. Families can also learn about the admissions criteria and financial aid. Our primary existential focus will be on financial literacy and wealth-building,” Pace said. In addition to the football game, participants will enjoy round trip transportation, attend a private HBCU reception, the HBCU College & Career Fair, Battle of the Bands and other scheduled events. Participants will also receive a swag bag with a commemorative t-shirt and other items. Our limited supply of tickets will be available on a first-served basis. Our seats are located in Section 22AA (Rows 4, 5 & 6). EVERYONE under the age of 16 will be required to have a chaperone 18 or older.
