COMMENTS FROM PAST FAIR PARTICIPANTS
"The I-74 Graduate School Days provide the opportunity to visit five quality schools during the course of one week. The collaborative nature of this event makes it a valuable use of the recruiter's time. The graduate school fairs personalize the recruitment process by allowing students to meet one-on-one with representatives from graduate programs. It's nice to travel to events where you're presented with motivated students who are interested in your program."

"The organizers of the event do an outstanding job of getting materials out to schools in a timely manner. Also, the student participation is usually quite good. I find that I am able to talk with students representing a variety of academic areas."

"Graduate & Professional School Days is time very well spent. The students I met with were extremely professional and well prepared. Having a week-long series of graduate school fairs in close proximity allowed me to maximize the use of my time. I was able to reach out to students I normally would not have met."
