Students got a glimpse of what they could do after graduation at a campus fair Tuesday.

The Prelaw Honors Society hosted a graduate school fair in the Duke Ellington ballroom. More than 300 students attended the Graduate and Professional School Fair, which had more than 100 graduate and professional schools in attendance.

This event was held “to help students with the aspect of career planning, in specific, students with majors that require master’s degrees,” said Brandon Lagana, director of Planning and Assessment for Career Services.

For the second year, junior and sophomore attendance at the fair was up, Lagana said.

Institutes came with free keychains, pens, candy and information on how students can get into their graduate programs. The representatives approached students walking by their booths and asked if they were interested in their institute and if they could answer any questions.

“We’ve seen students that have been successful in our programs and they were NIU students,” said Garry Cooke, assistant director of Recruitment at DePaul University.

NIU’s Prelaw Honors Society has set out to help students connect with the recruiters and to give students a venue to explore their options.

“[This event] let me know what I will commit myself to,” said senior philosophy major Micky Sayavong.

Jason Montemayor, senior political science major and president of the Prelaw Honors Society, said “[this was] the second-biggest law school fair in the state” that is student-funded and student-run, with the assistance of Career Services.
