In November 2010, the first University of
Delaware Graduate Fair drew more than
400 prospective graduate students to the
Trabant Center. The event featured more
than 50 UD graduate programs, and
included breakout sessions on the
application process, graduate student life,
career development, and school/work/personal life balance. The fair also
highlighted student services such as UD's Career Services Center, Student Financial
Services, UD libraries, and
Student Health Services.
One prospective student commented,
"After attending the grad fair, the
University is at the top of my list."
Another said, "This graduate fair exceeded
my expectations. I thought the whole
thing was very well planned and offered a
lot of valuable information. Before the fair,
I was interested in the program offered at
UD, but after being at the fair, I am ready
to submit my application. Thank you."
Graduate program directors who
participated also gave very positive
feedback about the experience. "I think
the event was very successful at increasing
overall awareness of UD graduate
programs throughout Delaware," said a
program director.
