Post Graduate Volunteer Fair - sponsored by Peace & Justice
The 2009 Post Graduate Volunteer Fair will take place on Wednesday, October 14, 2009 from 7-9:00 p.m. in the Cintas/Schiff Family Conference Center on the Xavier University campus.
The Peace and Justice Volunteer Fair is a post-graduate volunteer fair (similar to a career fair). It is open to all students interested in pursuing local, domestic, or international service after they graduate. Over 50 non-profit service organizations will be in attendance.
Representatives from the agencies and organizations gather at this fair on campus to meet and talk with students. It is a networking event to become familiar with the particular opportunities, work, and experiences the attending organizations offer. Review and research the registrants! Check back often as this list will be updated continuously.
Event atmosphere
This Post Graduate Volunteer Fair is a relaxed atmosphere. The representatives are looking to get to know people and students. Though it might be helpful to come prepared with resume in hand, it is certainly not required or expected. This is an excellent opportunity to meet, talk and build relationship between students and organizations. Business casual to casual is appropriate attire; look presentable.
What to bring
- Your Xavier All Card
- optional (Copies of your resume)
History
The Post Graduate Volunteer Fair was initiated by Peace and Justice Programs in the Fall of 2004 in collaboration with the University of Dayton and the fair played host to organizations and agencies during the day that year in Gallagher Student Center. The two consecutive years following it grew in number of participants, agencies/organizations and students. It also was moved to the Cintas/Schiff Family Conference Center Duff Banquet Room and held in the evening. In 2005 John Carroll in Cleveland joined Xavier and Dayton to form the volunteer fair "Ohio Loop." Fall 2009 marks the addition of Ohio Dominican University to the “Ohio loop” of volunteer fairs. The fair has been a coordinated effort between Peace and Justice Programs and the Career Services Center.
