Key Points

  • The Graduate Student Resource Fair connects graduate students with comprehensive networks for post-degree success.
  • The fair is expanding into Student Union Ballroom D for the first time following record growth.

Florida State University is making it easier for graduate scholars to tap into campus support services at this year’s Graduate Student Resource Fair. 

Hosted by the Graduate School’s Graduate Student Resource Center (GSRC), the fair brings together campus and community service providers while facilitating networking among students from various colleges and departments. For the first time, Registered Student Organizations will also participate, giving attendees a comprehensive view of both university services and peer support networks. 

“We want every graduate student at FSU to feel supported in every way, at every stage. Our definition of success is broader than getting a degree,” said Brian Wilcoxon, director of the GSRC. “The Resource Fair represents the Graduate School’s commitment to that. Here, they’ll find communities who will support them academically, personally and professionally, to graduation and beyond.”

Following the success of last year’s event, which saw attendance increase by 135 percent, the Graduate Student Resource Center is moving the event to Student Union Ballroom D for the first time to accommodate growing participation and provide additional space for students to explore available opportunities. 

All graduate and professional students are invited to attend on Wednesday, Sept. 9, from 4 to 6 p.m. to learn about campus programs, participate in interactive activities and enter prize giveaways. 

Students are encouraged to register in advance using the official online RSVP form and can learn more by visiting the GSRC website.
