GRAD FAIR SCHEDULED OCT. 10-11
      HAMMOND -- Grad Fair, a program designed to take the hassle out of preparing for graduation for Southeastern Louisiana University seniors, is scheduled for October 10 and 11 at Twelve Oaks.
       Leadership Development/Student Activities Director Jackie Dale Thomas, who started the program in 1995, said Grad Fair, “gives graduating seniors a ‘one-stop shopping’ opportunity to complete the requirements to walk at commencement and to graduate officially from the university.”
       Grad Fair hours are noon to 5 p.m., Thursday, October 10, and 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Friday, October 11. 
       Students who expect to receive their diplomas in December can order caps and gowns and class rings and Southeastern memorabilia. They also can have a graduation photo taken; obtain graduation, career placement, graduate school and alumni information; complete financial aid and student exit surveys, and visit a variety of booths offering services to prepare them for both commencement and the job market, Thomas said. 
       Grad Fair is co-sponsored by Leadership Development/Student Activities and Gamma Beta Phi honor and service society. For additional information, call Leadership Development/ Student Activities at 985-549-2233.
