Graduate School Program
October 25-28, 2010
Registration

Dear Graduate School Recruiter:
The Graduate School Program typically attracts 1,000 students from all academic disciplines who attend the event at six host colleges.  While this program 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 15, 2010. 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 six 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 Jerry Wrubel at (585) 245-5721. Click here for event information, including campus maps, directions and lodging information.
