Additional details:
- Organizations will be setup alphabetically by organization name within each categorical section. You may view a list of organizations and their assignments here. Student organizations must remain at their assigned location; no swapping or moving tables is permitted.
- The event will open at 12:30pm for organization representatives to arrive, find, and setup their table. You do not need to check-in, you may simply proceed directly to your table.
- Table signs and sign holders may not be removed or kept for other use. Organizations with missing signs, tables, chairs or other equipment after the event may be charged for replacement.
Preparing for the Fair:
- Keep interactions brief to allow for as many students to visit your table as possible. Prepare a 15-30 second elevator pitch.
- Have a display or posters and photos of past events and initiatives to showcase your work.
- Create a QR code that directs students to a Google Form to collect names of interested students or to allow students to sign up for your e-list or other resources.
- Avoid having a paper sign up sheet
- Schedule and reserve your GIM or other meetings on ReserveTufts in advance to be able to promote these dates to students during the fair. If your organization does not have access to ReserveTufts, please ensure you have completed your JumboLife Transition Form to update your organization's ReserveTufts contact. If you have any issues, reach out to Alexa Erb for assistance.
