and many more...

Please call Edward Hodge in the Keesler AFB Education Office at 228-377-7159 or send an email to [email protected] for more information. Reserve your table today!

 

Sounds GREAT!

Is there ANY chance that the fair will be open to the public?

It would be a GREAT piece of PR for the USAF if it were! It would also be a great recruiting opportunity for the AF and the MSANG to inform potential recruits of the educational oppotunities in the military.

 

Hi Gunsmoke,

I am working on getting permission from the base authorities to allow anyone access to the installation so they can attend the Ed Fair. We recently had a base Open House that attracted thousands from the local community, so I know that it can be arranged.

You right! This Ed Fair can be used as a great recruiting opportunity. We are working hard to make it a success.

 

We now have 26 schools signed up in the span of two weeks! Our goal is to have 40 schools participate. I think we can do it!!

 

Twenty-eight colleges have now signed up for the Keesler AFB Education Fair!! Do you think we will make it to our goal of 40 schools? I think we can do it!!
