Graduate School Representatives

The Center for Academic Development Services (CADS) and the UB Graduate School are pleased to host the 9th Bi-Annual Statewide Student Graduate School Awareness Conference entitled “Beyond the Bachelors Degree.”

This year’s conference will be held on Saturday, October 11th, from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. We are expecting 300 graduate school bound, non-traditional, first generation, and/or underrepresented minority students to attend.

This conference is a wonderful recruitment opportunity for schools and departments looking to identify high achieving students from diverse and underrepresented backgrounds. In previous years, more than 300 students from 25 colleges and universities across New York State have attended the conference. With your participation, this year’s conference will be just as successful.

Program representatives can send display literature/materials between October 1st - 8th, 2008 to the following:

This conference is open and worthwhile to students in all disciplines. We anticipate graduate school representatives from over 50 schools will participate in the fair. We believe that students will benefit from information provided by your graduate programs. We encourage you to send a representative to participate in our afternoon Graduate School Fair from 1:30pm – 4:30pm. Each representative will be provided with a table for displays and information. The fair is free of charge.

Displays must be set-up before 1:00 p.m. Representatives are also welcome to attend the luncheon immediately before the Graduate Fair. Register at  www.ubevents.org/events/gac2008 before the Wednesday, October 1st deadline.

The Buffalo/Niagara Marriott has provided a $119.00 conference rate for those making reservations by the Wednesday, October 1st deadline. For reservations, contact the Buffalo/Niagara Marriott at (716) 689-6900, and mention “The UB Graduate Awareness Conference.”
