Change to the WMU Graduate and Professional School Fair
The WMU Graduate College will no longer be hosting the annual Graduate and Professional School Fair. Instead, we are pursuing a different direction by combining efforts with the WMU Department of Career Services to promote WMU graduate school pathways through the WMU Career and Job Fairs. A separate graduate school fair will no longer be available. Thank you to the many college and university representatives who have attended our fair throughout the years!
