*Employers are not required to arrive at 11am, but please allow sufficient time for setup before students and alumni are allowed in at 1pm.

Parking
[PLEASE NOTE:  GW is currently building the new Science & Technology Complex on the site of the former main University Parking Garage.  Visitor parking availability on campus will be extremely limited during construction.  We STRONGLY encourage the use of public transportation or cabs. Also, please note that we cannot validate parking at non-GW related facilities.  We apologize for any inconvenience]. 

Event volunteers will validate parking tickets for University garages at the Employer Check-In table in the Marvin Center.  You can find specific information on available visitor parking by going to:  http://www.gwu.edu/~parking/where/index.cfm.  Fair registrants will be sent additional parking information closer to the date of the fair.
