The University Career Center will hold an Education Career Fair from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., Friday, Nov. 20, in the Barnhardt Student Activity Center. Organizers expect more than 60 schools and districts to be represented at this event.

Traditionally, the Education Career Fair has been a spring event; this year, the Career Center decided to offer a second fair for the fall.

Organizations will be seeking teaching candidates in all areas, school counselors, school social workers and school administrators.

Prospective teachers, as well as students and alumni from any major who wish to explore a career in education, are encouraged to attend this free event.
