Fair Rules
All fair representatives (alumni included) are expected to adhere to the NACAC (National Association of College Admission Counseling) principles of good practice:
- You must stand behind the table at all times.
- You are not permitted to give away items such
as a pennants, candy, etc.
- You must stay for the duration of the fair.
- Do not “wheel and deal” or “call out” to
students to get them to your table.

Breaking the Ice
- A lot of students aren’t familiar with Kalamazoo
College and may not ask very informed questions
- Be prepared to ask students questions as they
come to your table. Some icebreakers:
- Are you looking at mostly small schools?
- What subjects do you like in a high school?
- What extracurricular activities are you involved in?
- Sometimes only talking to a handful of
prospective students is a good night
