Is there a limit on how many departments/programs I can speak to at the Expo?

• You can talk to as many people as you want. 

What should I expect when I visit a program's table?

• This can vary a depending on the individual program/department. In general, there will be an advisor, faculty member, or current student waiting to chat with you, answer any questions you have, and discuss their program.

What to Expect/What to Bring

• This event is similar to Festifall: students will be walking past your table, so we suggest you bring materials/supplies/props to give visual appeal. 
• Our office will provide a large overhead sign with your program/department name.
• Consider bringing handouts/brochures with your program's information, especially if you want to refer to the material when talking to students. For an environmentally friendly option, consider getting a QR code that directs students to your information online or in a Google shared drive folder. You can have the QR code on a sign on your table, or on small quarter sheets of paper.
• Everyone loves free stuff, so consider bringing swag, candy, or other giveaway items.
• Consider bringing students who are currently in or have participated in your programs. 
• You will not have access to electrical power at your table.
