Career Fairs are designed for students to meet with employers or graduate school admissions counselors to apply for actual internships, cooperative education, full-time or part-time jobs, graduate school, and volunteer opportunities. Students can explore career options, conduct employer information interviews, or apply for positions. It’s also an opportunity for employers to share career options within their organizations with you. This interaction prepares you to be marketable, exceed employer expectations and to efficiently transition from the classroom to the formal occupational setting. This event is held once during the fall semester and once during the spring semester and is open to all majors and all academic levels (freshmen through graduate students). Professional dress is required.  To see a slideshow of what appropriate attire is click here. To learn how to prepare for and work a career fair click here.
