East Carolina University’s Career Services will host the 2017 Graduate School Fair from 9 a.m. to noon Oct. 25 in the Mendenhall Student Center Great Rooms.
More than 25 graduate and professional degree programs from across the country are scheduled to attend. The Graduate School Fair gives students and alumni the opportunity to meet and interview with representatives from several programs including law, health care and science.
Admissions representatives from each program will provide information on their organization’s opportunities as well as strategies for successful application.
“Researching graduate programs and putting together the strongest applications are essential to successfully applying to competitive graduate schools,” said Sarah Lage, career liaison to the Graduate School with ECU Career Services. “We encourage students to attend the Graduate School Fair to learn what schools are looking for and how to be a competitive candidate.”
Some of the schools attending the fair include the ECU Gradate School, Campbell Law School, Duke University, Liberty University School of Law, UNCW Cameron School of Business, University of South Carolina, Old Dominion University, Virginia State University and Meredith College.
Attendees should dress in professional business attire and bring an ECU OneCard. Career Services also suggests that participants:

  • Research the organizations that will be attending the event at www.ecu.edu/career and prioritize visits.
  • Develop and practice an introduction or power greeting.
  • Create or update a resume that has been critiqued by a career counselor and take multiple copies to the fair.
  • Smile, initiate a handshake and look representatives in the eye when greeting them at the event.

For additional information about the fair, contact Leslie Rogers, interim director of Career Services, at 252-328-6050 or visit www.ecu.edu/career.
