Incoming students and parents looking for general information during their Day on Campus should head to the Purdue Memorial Union for the Day on Campus Information Fair.

Barb Doppelfeld, the card services coordinator, said, "It's open for anyone interested in coming." It gives incoming freshmen information she said.

A lot of companies and organizations will have booths and representatives at the fair. People from CityBus, Boiler Gold Rush, the bursar and financial office, Boiler Express, Purdue Convocations, Reserve Officers' Training Corps, the Athletic Department and housing and food services will be present. Various banks from the area will also be represented.

Wayne Hilt, the card services manager, said "(The fair is) an opportunity to get an idea of what is going on. A lot of times parents go there while students get their IDs."

Hilt also said it is beneficial to stop by the fair because it is an opportunity to get rid of some confusion. "We try our best to take time and help eliminate the confusion," Hilt said. "We have a lot of visual aids to help."

The fair is an annual event. "Every year we set up a room and invite groups to come and speak to students and their parents," said Doppelfeld.

She said the parents seem to appreciate the fair a lot and that it has gotten a good response in the past. "Parents say it is wonderful to have all this information in one location."

Students looking to find work for the school year will appreciate the fair and the booths because many will have job applications.

Doppelfeld said that housing and food services will be there to talk to people about job opportunities as well.

The information fair will be in the Purdue Memorial Union in room 118 and the surrounding lounges. The representatives will be there throughout the days on campus from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., June 13 to July 7.
