Graduate School Recruiters
Emory’s Career Center is committed to helping recruiters from graduate and professional school programs connect with Emory students. Recruiters can meet with Emory students in a variety of ways:

  • Arranging a Campus Visit
  • Attending our annual Grad School Fair
  • Attending Law Admissions Networking Night (for law schools only)

ARRANGING A CAMPUS VISIT
If you are unable to attend our fair or would simply like to visit our students at another time of year, you may arrange a campus visit through The Career Center. To arrange a campus visit for graduate/ professional program recruiting, please complete the appropriate online reservation form below. Representatives are encouraged to contact our office at least 2 weeks in advance of the intended visit to allow ample time for logistical arrangements and marketing efforts to be made. In an effort to better organize campus visits and make them more productive for visiting recruiters, The Career Center has put forth the following guidelines:

  • Evening programs tend to have better attendance than daytime programs due to students’ class schedules. It is also more difficult to secure a room location during the day due to classes being in session. Recruiters are encouraged to host sessions beginning at or after 5:30 p.m., as these will typically yield a stronger turnout. Recruiters who must come to campus during the day are encouraged to hold an information table in our student center during the lunch timeframe.
  • Visits that are scheduled close to exam periods and school breaks may not have strong attendance. Please consult with a Career Center staff person to check your preferred date with our school calendar.
  • No campus visits will be scheduled during the day on Mondays or on the day following a University break or holiday. This is to ensure adequate time to remind students of the impending visit and encourage strong attendance.
  • No visits will be scheduled on Fridays after 1:00 p.m. With many students not having classes on Fridays or leaving campus for the weekend, experience has shown that this is not a well-attended timeframe for sessions.
  • For most direct advertising, please furnish an electronic version of a flyer to us that can be sent to our student email lists. This ensures that news of your visit will arrive in the email inbox of thousands of Emory undergraduate students. Flyers should be provided to anna.gilmore@emory.edu for pre-health programs or rodia.vance@emory.edu for law and graduate programs.

To schedule a campus visit, click on the appropriate link below and complete the online form. A Career Center staff person will contact you to confirm the details of your visit.

GRAD SCHOOL FAIR 2012
Emory’s annual Graduate School Fair is an excellent opportunity to get up close and personal with Emory’s dynamic student population and engage with students who are primed to hear more about graduate and professional school programs. In addition, Emory’s fair is open to students at other Atlanta area schools that do not host their own graduate fairs, including Georgia Tech, Agnes Scott, and others. This open-access policy allows you the opportunity to tap multiple schools in one stop.

Planning for the 2012 event will begin in the Spring of 2012, and a “Save-The-Date” notice will be sent to all schools who are on our email list. To be added to our email list, please send an email to Rodia Vance at rodia.vance@emory.edu including your University and program name as well as the email address that you would like to be used for communications about our event.

Due to space limitations, Emory’s fair always fills up. Therefore, interested programs are advised to register and submit payment early. Only those schools whose payment has been received in our office will be confirmed for the event.

Schools interested in attending should also be aware that Emory partners with other Georgia schools to coordinate graduate fairs throughout the state. The 2012 Georgia Grad Fair Circuit will include the following participating schools:

October 15 – Georgia State University
October 16 – University of West Georgia
October 17 – The University of Georgia
October 22 – Georgia College & State University
October 23 – Mercer University
October 24 – Emory University
October 25 – Kennesaw State University
October 26 – Atlanta University Center Consortium (Morehouse, Spelman, & Clark Atlanta)

For more information on the 2012 Circuit dates, please visit www.georgiagradfairs.com.

 

LAW ADMISSIONS NETWORKING NIGHT
Law schools interested in meeting with Emory students may choose to attend our annual Law Admissions Networking Night. This event is traditionally held each fall on the Thursday evening before the LSAC Atlanta Forum. This year’s event will take place on Thursday, September 6, 2012 at 7:00 p.m. on Emory’s campus. Law school representatives who are attending the Atlanta Forum are more than welcomed to attend. The event is free of charge and is designed to be an open networking reception for students to meet and greet with admissions recruiters in a more relaxed environment than a traditional fair.

To ensure a good balance of students to admissions representatives, we are limiting representative attendance to no more than 35 reps. Registration is on a first-come, first-served basis, so interested schools are encouraged to register quickly if they intend to attend. Please note that if more than one representative is attending from a school, the form must be completed separately for each attending representative. Registration for the 2012 Law Admissions Networking Night will open in late summer 2012. Check back to this page for registration details at that time.
