<p>Hey guys! I'm planning on hosting my school's first College fair... the whole idea was incepted by me and will be executed by me. I contacted approximately 15 colleges, and about 6 so far said they can't make it (they don't have plans to go to the middle east this year)...I suggested Alums represent them, some have offered to search for alums, some arent.</p>
<p>How can I make this event a success if they don't send anybody? Should I just ask for a lot of viewbooks?</p>
<p>Start by asking all your friends (or your parent’s friends?) where they went to college. There’s your first group of alumni.</p>
<p>good luck getting reps to fly to the middle east</p>
<p>Lots did for a major event in riyadh last year, but that was in March!</p>
<p>Should I just ask for a huge package of viewbooks and other informational material? Then set up tables for each university if they can’t send reps in. </p>
<p>I’m also thinking of having my own “table”, where people come and ask me about the admission process for Canada, the U.S., and the UK…what do you think?</p>
<p>you can have something where you field questions, and try to get as many colleges as you can and if they can’t I’m sure they’ll be happy to send you lots of viewbooks, flyers etc</p>
<p>Maybe Skype?</p>
<p>@UT84321: Good idea! but that means the event would have to be held after school…hmm…good idea! Yea! It really is! Though Im not sure if the connection will hold that well…thanks for the idea!</p>
