The Graduate School Fair is at Buffalo State College for its 16th year.  This year’s fair features representatives from over 50 local and national schools, and is separate from the Law School Fair for the first time at BSC.

The Career Development Center is sponsoring the fair, which is a yearly event on campus.

The Law School Fair, which used to be held in conjunction with the grad school fair, is now a collaborative effort between four-year schools in the Buffalo area in order for students to get a wider range of information from more law schools.

From 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on Tuesday, October 18 in the Campbell Student Union Social Hall, students will be able to meet with representatives to learn more about educational opportunities offered by these schools.  The schools have programs ranging from social work to business.

The fair is also having a free drawing and the prize, a free entrance exam prep course, is valued at over $1,000.

            According to the CDC, all students—freshman to senior—are encouraged to attend, but the fair would most benefit those ready to attend grad school.  Jessie Lombardo, Senior Career Counselor for the CDC, wants everyone even considering graduate school to attend the fair.

Lombardo said the CDC is a great resource for graduate school information, and provides resources from application tips to financial aid.

The fair is free to students and BSC alumni, said Lombardo.

“Even if you already graduated, come back for the fairs,” she said.

The CDC is located in Grover Cleveland Hall, Room 306, and the number is (716) 878-5811.  For a complete list of schools participating in the fair, go to the CDC’s website.
