Super Sunday Fact Sheet

Super Sunday is an annual student recruitment initiative specifically targeting African-American students and their families, with information and resources to support college admissions and enrollment. On Sunday, February 12, 2012, the Kentucky Community and Technical College System (KCTCS), and each of its 16 colleges will partner with African-American churches throughout the state to host college information fairs for prospective college students and their families.
