Sowela Technical Community College will host its first-ever Flying Tiger Fest 1-4 p.m. Saturday, March 25, at its Main Campus, Sycamore Student Center, 3824 Senator J. Bennett Johnston Ave.

Flying Tiger Fest is not your typical college visit, with prospective students, alums and their families encouraged to visit campus and explore all Sowela has to offer.  

The event is open to the public and includes music, food, giveaways and activities for kids sponsored by The Children’s Museum of SWLA. Attendees can meet Sowela faculty and staff and tour the many hands-on learning opportunities available at the College, including Sowela’s Aviation hangar with planes, nursing simulation labs, industrial hands-on training units, and more.

Enrollment and financial aid specialists will provide application assistance and answer questions about scholarships and financial aid, including TOPS and TOPS Tech, MJ Foster Promise and more. Representatives from Sowela’s student organizations will share details on how to get involved and the many student life opportunities available to students.

Hot 103.3 will broadcast live from the event and give away concert tickets.
