These events are open fairs, at the graduate, undergraduate, and/or transfer level, at which admission representatives staff a table on behalf of The New School. They serve as an initial point of contact between students and colleges, without students needing to travel to visit the college itself, allowing students to interact with admission representatives from a wide range of postsecondary institutions.
