Dear Graduate School Recruiter:

This year’s Rochester (NY) Area Colleges Graduate School Program will be held at four different colleges.  While the event is open to students from all of the 17 Rochester area colleges and universities, student attendees at each site will primarily be from the host campuses.   You may attend one or more or all of these events for one registration fee.

Registration:    The deadline to register is October 7, 2011. No refunds will be made after this date. There is a single $150.00 registration fee that includes participation and meals at one or more of the four sites, for up to two representatives (per site) from your graduate program.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Capacity at the individual campus sites varies and historically this event has filled well in advance of the published deadline. Be sure to register promptly to reserve your space!

Questions about registration for the overall program and requests for special accommodations may be directed to the Career Services Office at SUNY Geneseo--(585) 245-5721. Click here for event information, including campus maps, directions and lodging information.
