On Saturday, January 25th, Abilene’s Hispanic Leadership Council will host its 24th annual College and Career Seminar.  The event offers high school students and their parents sessions aimed at helping them to prepare for the next steps following graduation.

The free, half-day event includes lunch and opportunities for students to take home one of two laptops, gift cards and college swag, which will be raffled off at the end of the seminar.

Organizers request participants register to help plan enough food for the provided free lunch and other materials.  Register for the seminar here.  The event begins at 8 a.m. Saturday morning at the Abilene campus of Cisco College.
