AAAP Lifecycle
The College Fair
• College fairs are events organized by high schools or
colleges and universities.
• High schools invite college and university
representatives to meet with local students, allowing the
students and their parents to obtain information on a
variety of colleges and universities regarding majors,
campus life, admissions, etc.
• Based on target marketing and research, the office of
undergraduate Admissions selects fairs for AAAP
ambassadors.
The College Fair
• You will be assigned a table at the fair (If you are attending
a fair in Michigan, you will be teamed up with an admissions
adviser)
• Display the recruitment brochures and the AAAP contact
cards. *AAAP contact card in section 3
• During the fair, students will stop by your table and ask
questions. Share your OU experience while answering
questions. *FAQ at a college fair in section 3
• Be sure to have the interested student fill out the contact
card so Undergraduate Admissions can send more
information to the student.
