HAMMOND – High school students and their parents are invited to learn about universities
and colleges across the state and nation as well as their scholarships, financial
aid, and admissions requirements at the Northshore College and Career Fair on Tuesday,
Sept. 26.
Not to be confused with Career Fair, Southeastern Louisiana University’s annual
university-wide employment recruiting event scheduled Sept. 21, this event caters
to high school students. One of the largest college fairs in the state with more
than 50 participating colleges and universities from throughout the state and nation,
the free event will be held from 6-8 p.m. at Southeastern’s Pennington Center, located
on the corner of University Avenue and General Pershing Street.
The fair is open to all high school students and their parents; the event is
scheduled in cooperation with the public school systems of Tangipahoa and St. Tammany
parishes.
Students can pre-register for their own special bar codes at lacollegefairs.com to
use at the event. Many vendors will be able to scan the codes to collect the students’
contact and interest information, eliminating the need to complete information cards
at each table.
“This is the primary event for high school students and their families to learn
more about selecting colleges and career options,” said Anthony Ranatza, Southeastern
director of Admissions. “Students and their parents will be able to browse exhibits
offering information on academic and career options, university admissions requirements,
as well as other scholarship and financial aid opportunities.”
For more information on the fair, contact Southeastern Admissions at 985-549-5637
or e-mail northshorefair@southeastern.edu. Additional information about Southeastern, including admission requirements and
scholarship opportunities, is available at southeastern.edu.
