KU’s Explore Grad School Week has one clearly named in-person opportunity: a fair where visitors can speak with Social Welfare’s MSW program staff and KU Graduate Admissions.
A week for exploring graduate options
KU describes the week as a chance to learn about graduate opportunities, meet academic programs and understand the application process. Its listed audiences include prospective students, current graduate students and undergraduates, so the event is not presented as being only for students about to graduate.

Online programming, but no session list to plan around
KU says Graduate Admissions and academic programs will host virtual events during the week. The linked portal currently displays no individual sessions, leaving remote attendees without confirmed topics or times to choose from. Check the portal again before planning around a particular online session.

A fair alongside virtual events
