This year's Welcome Fair will be interactive, informative, and engaging for both our incoming graduate students and the campus partners. There will be food trucks, live music, interactive booths, prize giveaways, and our booth partners will be providing important resource information for graduate students to navigate their first year on campus. 

Each student will receive a welcome bag as they enter the fair, to collect goodies from each booth. Provost Hu and Vice Provost/Dean Ron Walcott will address and welcome the students. Add event to your calendar here
