Off-Campus Housing Fair
What is the Housing Fair?
This event is an open house in the IUPUI Campus Center multipurpose room that takes place every year. It is an opportunity for students to do "one stop shopping" for places to live in Indianapolis and the surrounding suburbs. The Housing Fair brings together property managers and community resources in order to inform students about housing options and how to successfully live off campus.
What is the date and time of the Housing Fair?
The Housing Fair will take place on Wednesday, March 7, 2012 from 9:00 am until 3:00 pm in room 450 of the Campus Center at IUPUI. Participants will be able to set up beginning at 8:00 am and will be able to tear down until 3:30 pm.

I want to provide FOOD at my booth. What do I need to do to make this happen?
Pre-packaged and individually wrapped goods are no problem, however, if you are bringing anything which is not individually packaged (including ordering pizza or providing mints, bite-size brownies, M&Ms, cookies, hot dogs, popcorn, etc.) please contact the Student Advocate at (317) 278-7594. We would be happy to work with you to navigate IUPUI's health code related to preparing and serving food on campus!
