Over 250 middle school students attend Reality U at El Dorado campus 

Butler Community College hosted Andover Central Middle School’s Reality U event on Tuesday, February 9, in the Clifford/Stone Room at the El Dorado Campus Welcome Center. Over 250 8th-graders attended. 

Reality U prepares middle school students for the future by presenting them with everyday life scenarios and teaching them budgeting skills. The event introduces students to career opportunities, academic requirements and salary potential. 

The annual event was led by Vice President of Academics Dr. Barry Robinson and the Butler Admissions team, who welcomed students to campus. Early College Academy administrators then discussed college course opportunities and students took a tour of the Butler’s Nursing Department and the Butler Fire Truck.
