poster session at conference

Thursday, November 7, 6:15-7:45pm

Showcase your program, meet prospective students and faculty
Participate in the University Reception at the 2013 Annual Conference. Past participants say it's one of the best ways to promote your Family Science program. Hundreds of students and faculty will be on hand, and they want to know what’s going on at your institution. Last year, we had more than 20 organizations participating.

Again this year...all refreshments are supplied as part of the participation fee. No messing with catering menus, no surprises. And again this year, serving stations will be numerous and lines will be short. To insure that attendees stop by your table, NCFR will donate a major prize to be raffled off to attendees who visit all University Reception tables.

This year’s University Receptions will be on Thursday, 6:15-7:45pm, perfectly scheduled around major Students and New Professionals events. Judy Schutz, conference coordinator, will assist you in planning. Email her, or call her at 888-781-9331, ext 2893.  See link below to form with more details.

Bonus: For additional presence, NCFR provides exhibit booth options in the Exhibits Area for just $300 (half price) if you are participating in the University Reception.

Bonus #2: Meet with job candidates while at the NCFR conference. Interview rooms can be provided upon request to institutions participating in the University Receptions.

You also may sponsor services and events, like The Gathering Place and the Newcomers Reception.  Maximize your exposure to students and colleagues. Email Judy Schutz for information.
