Graduating seniors are invited to attend the 2011 Grad Fair scheduled for Wednesday, Oct. 12 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Thursday, Oct. 13 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Alumni Center located on North Campus. The event is mainly for summer and fall graduates , however; spring graduates are also welcome.
“Grad Fair has been an impressive event on our campus since 1990,” said Jackie Dale Thomas, director of Leadership Development and Student Activities.
The Grad Fair is host to many organizations and services a graduate will need. Students will be able to order their cap and gowns, invitations, class rings and have their picture taken for the yearbook. Candid pictures in cap and gown can also be taken for family and friends. Other booths include La Capital Credit Union, which aims to help students move into life outside of school, and Enrollment Services to assist with providing important and pertinent graduation information. Southeastern Development Foundation and the Alumni Association will be in attendance as well.
Refreshments will be provided at the fair and door prizes are to be awarded to lucky students. Le Souvenir, the Southeastern yearbook, will also be available to graduates at no cost.
“The best part of seniors attending Grad Fair is that it is ‘one stop shopping’ for seniors,” said Thomas. “They can get the bulk of their graduation needs taken care of
