    Dear LA-CGS members:<br>
    <br>
    This is the email from Jeannine Kahn about today's event. Only
    applies to UL System schools. I don't think any other administrator
    from Louisiana Tech is going. So I plan to show up with a list of
    our current faculty job openings and perhaps a few other items about
    living and working in Ruston from the Chamber of Commerce.<br>
    <br>
    I agree with Sushma: This is not our audience, and those with good
    resumes seeking faculty jobs for the Fall term probably have
    interviews or offers lined up already.<br>
    <br>
    Best regards,<br>
    Ramu<br>
