SAVE THE DATE - National College Fair! 7 May 2008

Chicago National College Fair at Navy Pier
Saturday, October 25, 2008
10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

The 35th annual Chicago National College Fair will take place at Navy Pier on Saturday, October 25, 2008 from 10am to 2pm. Last year approximately 10,000 students and their families met with over 400 colleges and universities from around the world.

Imagine a college fair where students no longer fill out individual inquiry cards, reps spend more time talking with families, and students’ contact information arrives at each selected college or university within 24 hours so it can be uploaded electronically without manual data entry…

This is possible now! The Chicago NCF has been selected as a test site for this new lead retrieval program. Colleges and universities will be able to rent scanners which will read an individual bar code ID printed by each student before the fair. Many colleges and universities are excited about this new technology.

Students, please pre-register online at www.gotomyncf.com. It is important to note that all student information will be immediately deleted once it can be confirmed that the individual colleges and universities selected by each student have received their data.
