Recruiting Events

Let's Connect!

How do we connect with potential Sanford graduate students? We attend a lot of recruiting events! Some are in-person, some are virtual - from Idealist fairs around the country to APSIA gatherings - we look forward to meeting you! Most of the events are from September - December, and we list them here as the events are finalized.
