A thousand high school students from northern Illinois were courted by college recruiters at a Hispanic College Fair Wednesday morning.
The job for the recruiters involved more than information about admission requirements, said Carlos Reyes of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, one of 60 schools at the event.
â??Sometimes we tend to limit ourselves,â? said Reyes. â??This is a chance to talk one-on-one and say, â??I came from the same situation as you guys. Weâ??ve come a long way and you need to go a long way.â??â?
