Idealist Graduate Admissions Fairs Start This Week!

45 percent of you emerging leaders have asked for more education to help you prepare to take on executive roles.


At our spring fair in Washington, DC You need skills! Management, finance, marketing and communications, policy analysis and leadership, research and counseling skills. You can take a workshop here and there...or you can dive in fully and go back to school. Part-time, full-time, online, joint degrees: schools know you want all these options and more, and they offer them.

The Idealist.org Graduate Degree Fairs for the Public Good will introduce you to distinctive public-interest grad schools from all over the country and world. In September our grad fairs team, Chris and Jung, will tour the Northeast and Toronto:

New York (Sept. 10 – Changed venue at Columbia!)
Boston (Sept. 15)
Toronto (Sept. 18)
Washington, D.C. (Sept. 19)
Philadelphia (Sept. 22)

They'll continue on throughout North America through November.

Chris and Jung want you to meet the hundreds of admissions staff who will tour with them, representing schools like: public health, social work, education, divinity, public administration, nonprofit and business management, law, communications, and more.

You'll meet admissions staff who are genuinely kind people – people who can shepherd you through the application processes and answer your questions. Most fairs will have a panel discussion or two, to allow you to hear advice about admissions, financial aid, and more.

If you won't get to a fair this fall, check out our new online public service graduate education resource center.
