How to Prepare for a Graduate School Fair
Graduate school fairs can open doors, but only if you know how to walk through them. This workshop will help you feel confident and prepared before you even step in the room. Learn how to research programs ahead of time, ask meaningful questions, and make a strong impression on admissions reps.
Whether you're attending your first fair or looking to improve your approach, this session will help you show up confident, informed, and ready to make meaningful connections.

Grad School Fair Scavenger Hunt
In partnership with the UMN Graduate School, we will be hosting a scavenger hunt! Heading to a grad fair can feel overwhelming—who do you talk to, what do you ask, and where do you start? We’ve made navigating the event seamless, engaging, and rewarding with our interactive Self-Guided Scavenger Hunt!
Whether you are exploring options for the future or actively prepping your applications, this scavenger hunt is designed to turn the Grad School Fair into an interactive experience.
Participants will be entered into a drawing for prizes!
