Graduate and Professional School Day is for students thinking of seeking post-graduate education. Representatives from graduate and professional schools set up booths to talk with students about their programs, admissions requirements and financial aid. October 16, 2007
Senior Conference is a 2-day conference that is like an orientation to life after TCU. Keynote speakers, breakout sessions on special topics, and panels of employers and alumni sharing advice are presented. Session topics can range from what employers expect of a new employee to practical tips on budgeting that entry-level salary, networking, or finding a social life away from the university. One of the highlights is the formal dinner where everyone gets dressed up and is served a seven-course dinner. During each course instructions are given on which utensil to use, how to eat difficult foods and other elements of good etiquette.
