Counselor Info - Register Your Students for Lead Retrieval
The 2013 Minnesota National College Fair will utilize Lead Retrieval technology. This technology allows student to create a bar code of their information that will then be scanned by colleges at the fair. Students will no longer have to fill out interest cards for each college, maximizing their time in conversation with college representatives. In order for this to run as smoothly as possible students are highly encouraged to create their bar code prior to arrival at the fair. For more information on the Lead Retrieval technology and registration process please see the information video linked below.
