DAYTON, OH (October 4, 2024) — Day Air Credit Union is proud to announce the success of its largest College Prep Night yet, held recently for aspiring college students and their families at Day Air Ballpark.

College Prep Night featured representatives from leading higher education institutions, allowing students to engage directly, ask questions, and gather vital information about admissions, scholarships, and academic programs.
