Georgia welcomes you to the 2010 Georgia Grad Fair Circuit!

This website has been designed to make it easy for graduate school recruiters to find information on all of the graduate fairs going on in Middle and North Georgia in one convenient location. Below, you will find information on the dates, times, and locations of graduate and professional school fairs for the eight colleges and universities participating in this year’s Georgia Grad Fair Circuit. Travel information and recommendations are also provided.

First, a couple of important points:

  • Fairs have been organized in a sequential fashion to facilitate ease of travel for recruiters. However, each event operates independently. Therefore, recruiters will need to contact each school of interest to register for that event. There is no centralized registration for all events. Recruiters should also be mindful that the registration deadlines and policies of each fair will differ as well.

 

  • Although great care was taken to organize the events with respect to geographical flow, the availability of facilities along with other campus events/schedules at the various schools have dictated otherwise at some points during the Georgia Grad Fair Circuit. We hope that programs will be able to attend the fairs of all schools of interest to their recruiting needs.
