Georgia Grad Fair Circuit
Welcome to the 2013 Georgia Grad Fair Circuit!
This website has been designed to make it easy for graduate school recruiters to find information on graduate fairs going on in Georgia in one convenient location. Below, you will find information on the dates, times, and locations of graduate and professional school fairs for the schools participating in this year’s Georgia Grad Fair Circuit. Travel information and recommendations are also provided.
FIRST, A FEW IMPORTANT POINTS:
- Although great care was taken to organize the events with respect to timeline and 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.
- All events are general graduate/professional school fairs that are open to all types of graduate programs unless otherwise specified.
- Each event operates independently. Therefore, recruiters will need to contact each school of interest to register for that event. Recruiters should be mindful that the registration deadlines and policies of each fair will differ as well. There is no centralized registration for all events.
