"The Grad Expo is a wonderful opportunity to meet with hundreds of qualified students from all over the country." (2008 Attending Recruiter)

Grad Expo participants speak with a recruiter from Columbia University during the graduate school fair.

Are you seeking talented and diverse prospective graduate students for your institution's programs in:

• Engineering,
• Mathematics,
• Pharmaceutical Sciences,
• Science, or
• Technology?

Do you want to highlight your institution and its programs while encouraging students to consider graduate study? The Big Ten+ Graduate School Exposition on Monday, September 28, 2009 is for you!

Attend the Grad School Expo at Purdue University to meet and educate prospective graduate students from a wide variety of institutions and backgrounds interested in science-related disciplines. Last year's event welcomed students from 37 different states and 115 institutions with an average GPA of 3.56/4.0!

Back by popular demand: Register with the premium registration and participate in the roundtable lunch with prospective graduate students. This is a great opportunity to interact one-on-one with interested students in a casual environment.

New this year: Maximize your presence at this year's Grad Expo by advertising in the event program or on this Web site.

Please note: The Big Ten+ Grad Expo focuses on graduate education. There may not be students interested in professional degrees such as the DVM, PharmD, JD, MD, etc.

Due to space constraints, it has become necessary to limit the 2009 Grad Expo to an "invitation only" event for recruiters, with priority consideration given to the Big Ten universities, as well as Purdue's strategic peers. If you do not receive an invitation, we encourage you to contact us and we will notify you if space becomes available. You are also welcome to participate in our advertising or sponsorship opportunities.

Take advantage of other recruiting opportunities in the area! Consider the Rose Hulman Graduate School Fair held on the evening of September 28th.
