Career Fairs

Employers come to our campus to recruit students and alumni for jobs and internships. Some Career Fairs are designed to connect students to employers in specific areas. However, many employers recruit from across all majors and train college graduates for a variety of careers.

Even if you are not ready to apply now, you can start preparing by networking with recruiters and learning about upcoming opportunities and requirements. Also, graduate and professional schools attend fairs to provide valuable information to students contemplating graduate programs. 

Career fairs and other events are offered throughout the year. View our current calendar of events.

Hot Tip: Prepare for Career Fairs

Career Fairs provide a forum for students and employers to meet and talk informally about full-time, part-time, volunteer, and internship opportunities.

Students at a Career Fair

We recommend that students attend a Career Fair Prep workshop, which is usually held a few days before a Career Fair, where you'll learn some important do's and don'ts.

For accessibility accommodations (e.g. ASL interpreting, real-time captioning), please contact Melissa Gonzalez at [email protected] at least 3 days before the fair.
