Midwest Graduate School Summit set to help students explore graduate school options

The Midwest Graduate School Summit, hosted annually by the Purdue University Graduate School and featuring over 40 higher education institutions, is coming to Stewart Center on Saturday (Nov. 9).

Purdue’s Midwest Summit is tailored to the prospective graduate student experience with a graduate school fair, which includes representatives from Big Ten and other top-ranked universities; informative workshops; and networking receptions with current graduate students and professors. In 2018, it attracted over 700 students from 40 different states.

Students interested in pursuing graduate study in the fields of business, education, health and human sciences, liberal arts, and pharmacy are encouraged to check out this event to explore their options for graduate school.

"This is a wonderful opportunity for students to obtain in-depth information about graduate education and research opportunities from a variety of graduate institutions," says Tom Atkinson, associate dean of the Graduate School and interim director of graduate admissions at Purdue. "When attending the Midwest Summit, students can speak with professors, current graduate students and staff about graduate school and the steps necessary to accomplish their long-term goals."

Purdue students have two options for attending the Midwest Summit. They may attend the Graduate School Fair on Saturday in Stewart Center at no cost with their Purdue ID, or they may participate in all Midwest Summit events, including workshops, meals, and other activities, by opting to pay the regular registration fee of $40 at the door.

They can visit the Purdue student registration page for details. Purdue alumni also can attend the fair free. To learn more about the event and view a list of attending institutions, visit the Midwest Summit website.
