Grad Fair

The Grad Fair provides graduating students the opportunity to meet with a variety of offices on campus in one centralized location to make the graduation process more convenient. Students that will be graduating at the end of the term are encouraged to attend in order to be prepared for graduation and commencement.

The Grad Fair is highly encouraged for students that plan to graduate but it is not required.

For Fall, the Grad Fair will be held Tuesday, October 22nd from 9am to 2pm in the Maucker Union Ballrooms.

**There will be a Grad Fair held next spring for Spring 2025 graduates.**
