3:15 p.m. Job Fair Students from across the Southeast have been
invited to meet sports editors and have resumes critiqued. Schools invited include Alabama, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Auburn, UAB, Mississippi State, and Troy, Birmingham-Southern, Jacksonville State and others.
This will be a good opportunity to perhaps get some recruiting done and also to maybe sign up some student members.
