The Graduate Schools & Career Expo during the Academic Research Conference (ARC) brings many schools, professional programs, and employers to share information and discuss advanced degree programs with exceptional students. Students presenting and attending the Expo come from at least ten undergraduate and graduate institutes from Alabama, Mississippi, Florida, and Georgia. Last year, the conference had 120 students from 15 regional universities. In addition, many of UWA’s current students, who are not presenting at the conference, attend the Expo to explore graduate opportunities or careers in their area of interest.

- Pre-show participant demographics (number of participants, class year, post-graduation goals)
- Post-show access to poster competitor mailing list
- Opportunity to develop relationships with undergraduate faculty advisors
