The Mardi Gras Invitational is a combination of two distinct recruiting events-the Mardi Gras Career Fair and the Mardi Gras Job Fair. Student resumes will be distributed on CD-ROM in Microsoft Word 97 format to registered employers at no additional cost. Those companies wishing to receive a resume book instead of a CD-ROM will have the opportunity. The registration deadline for Mardi Gras 2000 is Friday, December 1, 2000. After the deadline, registrants will be considered on a space available basis.
Early registration is encouraged.
5 p.m. In 2000, more than 1,400 graduation seniors, alumni, and underclassmen attended the career fairs. Immediately following the Career Fairs, the Mardi Gras Invitational Committee and the publishers of the Black Collegian Magazine host a reception for all recruiters. During the reception, you will have a chance to socialize with colleagues and representatives from the participating institutions and the Black Collegian while discovering the wonderful traditions of Mardi Gras and a taste of New Orleans. This day is arranged so recruiters may interview students on an individual basis. Recruiters may use the Mardi Gras Resume CD, the Career Fair, or a combination of both to pre-select candidates to interview on February 16.
