FROM THE GUIDANCE COUNSELOR:

On November 14th, DGF High School will be hosting its annual College and Career Fair from 2:15 – 3:15 in
the DGF Multi-Purpose Building. We are therefore seeking parent and community volunteers to represent
their alma mater, and we welcome representatives from any college, university, community or junior college.
In year’s past we have not including many careers, but it is out desire to include a variety of career fields this
year as well. This will be a wonderful opportunity for our students to obtain information from schools all over
the United States (and some in Europe) while living overseas and to learn about potential career fields.
Please email Amber Richardson at [email protected] to let us know of your interest in
participating in this event. If you are interested in representing your alma mater, all you will need to do ahead
of time is to contact the admissions office and ask them to send some informational
packets/pamphlets/poster or anything else they would be willing to send. It usually takes a couple weeks to
get the material. If you are interested in promoting your career field, all you need to do is show up with any
informational pamphlets, pictures or displays, etc. and the desire to promote your career field.
