Grad Fest 2009 for fall graduating students at McNeese State University will be held from 9 a.m-5 p.m. Nov. 11 in Parra Ballroom of the Student Union Annex. This event is sponsored by the McNeese Alumni Association.

According to McNeese Alumni Director Joyce Patterson, graduating students can come to one place to pick up their caps and gowns, order graduation announcements and class rings, have graduation pictures taken, obtain resume and interview assistance, pay any outstanding fees or parking fines, order transcripts for mailing, obtain answers to financial aid questions and register for prizes.

She said other information available includes how to apply for graduate school and what study guides are needed to prepare for such standardized tests as the GMAT, GRE, LSAT and NTE, and how to join the McNeese Recreational Complex as an alumnus.
