Georgia Grad Fair Circuit

Recruiters, please note:

Currently, schools participating in the 2013 Circuit are making final arrangements for their fair dates. The 2013 Georgia Grad Fair Circuit calendar will be updated on this site by May 15, 2013. Recruiters are encouraged to check back at that time. The information listed below is for 2012.

Georgia welcomes you to the 2012 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 couple of 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.
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 be mindful that the registration deadlines and policies of each fair will differ as well.
