Idealist grad school fairs—coming to a city near you

Thursday, August 20th, 2009

Starting next month, Idealist.org is sponsoring a series of Graduate Degree Fairs for the Public Good all around the country. Idealist says there will be 50-200 graduate programs in fields such as nonprofit management, education, social work, global health, international affairs, law, public policy, urban planning, and more represented at each fair. The schedule is as follows (in paren are the number of schools already committed to each fair): 

Sep 10 – New York, NY (200)
Sep 14 – Providence, RI (75)
Sep 15 – Boston, MA (175)
Sep 17 – Toronto, ON (50) 
Sep 21 – Washington, DC (150) 
Sep 23 – Pittsburgh, PA (50) 
Oct 5 – Denver, CO (60)

Oct 19 – Los Angeles, CA (120)
Oct 20 – Seattle, WA (90) 
Oct 22 – Portland, OR (65)
Oct 29 – New Orleans, LA (60)
Oct 30 – Atlanta, GA (90) 
Nov 3 – Virginia Beach, VA (30)

Check ‘em out! Idealist also has a handful of nonprofit career fairs coming up for those pursuing employment rather than, as my favorite grad school professor used to say, “that piece of paper” (i.e., a graduate degree):

Oct 14 – Portland, OR
Oct 20 – Seattle, WA
Nov 10 – Washington, DC
Apr 13 – Minneapolis, MN

Government jobs now on Idealist.org

Thursday, May 14th, 2009

Something I came across awhile back but neglected to post amidst the hub-bub of creating the new site: government agencies can now post jobs, internships, volunteer opportunities, events, and programs on Idealist.org. Not sure if this will help overcome the Internet Black Void of Wasted Time and Energy and make applying for a government job easier, but one can hope.
