Northwestern State will also host a Teacher Job Fair for upper level teacher candidates, alternative certification majors, graduate students and alumni from 8:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 17 in the Sylvan Friedman Student Union. Human resource representatives from school systems throughout Louisiana and Texas will be present to interview candidates. Registration is required.
