WEBSITE NOTES
This year our website has a
new look and design intended to encourage broader year-round use. Notice
the addition of the "Virtual Career Center" title. The website has been
expanded to offer information and resources related to grad school prep
and a range of career development topics.
Remember, any graduate or professional school representative who calls you with
questions about the event can easily gain access to all the information he or
she needs by simply visiting our website. Please refer all interested recruiters
and representatives directly to our official website for everything they need to
register for the event. There is no reason to obtain their name or address in
order to mail them an invitation. All they need to do is go to our website. Help
facilitate this process with any and all callers you encounter.

SITE COORDINATOR RESOURCES
As the team members in each location (or site)
meet to begin planning their local event and making arrangements for
their specific grad school expo, determining the tasks and duties will
become critical. Assigning the tasks and duties will, of course, become
even more critical.
Posted here for use by the coordinators and team members at each site is
a sample duties checklist. Feel free to use this template as a guideline
for creating your own checklist for your particular site. Not all
items on the checklist will apply to all sites. Adapt this
template to the specific needs of your site.

EVENT ITEMS
A door prize is to be given out at each site at
the end of the event. The prize is awarded to one of the recruiters or
reps and usually decided by a drawing. Each site is given $100 to be
used for a cash prize. Each site may decide whether to award one
prize ($100) or two prizes ($50) or four prizes ($25). The winner
of the door prize should sign a receipt.

All student attendees are
asked to sign in as they arrive for the event.
It is helpful to identify which school they represent. Site
coordinators may want to use a separate sign-in sheet for each local
school.
