If you might be able to attend one of these events please contact Sarah Nilsen in the Office of Admissions at (540) 568-5681 or nilsensj@jmu.edu. You will be sent training materials and brochures to hand out for the college fairs. We will be updating the website over the next two months with more offerings, so please check back periodically.
The first table represents our "HOT" requests. These are events which either have a proven record of success or have been identified as having good potential for successful recruiting. The second table includes other worthy events, but we do not view them as high target areas.
Please feel free to check this site throughout the fall and spring as we will update when we get new fair information.
