For students attending the FREE Graduate School Fair only, swipe your Purdue ID in the hallway outside of STEW 302 to receive a name tag with time stamped before entering the fair. When exiting the fair, go to the Purdue student club checkout table (STEW 310) and provide your Purdue ID (another Purdue ID swipe needed) and the name of your club.  Students need to stay at least 30 minutes.
