Big Ten+ Graduate School Exposition to take place virtually Nov. 7-8

The Big Ten+ Graduate School Exposition, hosted annually by the Purdue University Graduate School, will take place virtually on Nov. 7-8. The event features 130-plus higher education institutions, including Big Ten and other major research universities.

Purdue’s Grad Expo is regarded as one of the largest university-hosted graduate recruitment and informational events in the country, attracting over 600 attendees in 2020. This year, the event has expanded to include all graduate majors. The format of the event will remain the same, offering attendees a variety of opportunities to attend educational workshops and network with current graduate students and professors, in addition to attending the graduate fair.

"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 Melanie Morgan, associate dean of the Graduate School and professor in the Brian Lamb School of Communication at Purdue. "When attending Grad Expo, students can speak with professors, current graduate students and staff about graduate school and the steps necessary to accomplish their long-term goals."

There is no admissions fee to attend the virtual Big Ten+ Graduate School Exposition. Registration, which closes Nov. 4, is available online. For more information and to view a list of attending institutions, visit the Grad Expo website.
