Recruiting Events
Fall & Spring
Career & Internship Fairs
These fairs provide an opportunity to explore opportunities, obtain employer information, and develop contacts to use in applying for full-time, internship, and summer positions. Employers attend career & internship fairs to increase student awareness about their organization and the careers they offer, to identify potential candidates for future hiring needs, and to fill positions they may currently have available.
On Campus Recruiting/Interviews
On-Campus Recruiting (OCR) is a great opportunity to fit an interview, either in-person in the Career Center or virtual, into your campus schedule. These are typically for full-time, salaried, degree-required, professional jobs or internships.
Career Diversity Expo
The Career Diversity Expo offers the opportunity for students to participate in an employer showcase to speak with representatives in one-on-one settings. Attendees will have the chance to ask meaningful questions about company culture and how their respective companies are committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion. During their conversations, students glean information about the organization’s current and upcoming internship and full-time positions. This event is limited to a smaller number of employers and focuses on the opportunity for employers and students of diverse backgrounds to network and learn about each other.
