Over 100 on- and off-campus employer partners, student clubs, & campus offices will be recruiting for internships, part-time & full-time positions, and on-campus work-study opportunities. Come learn about engaging with student clubs, organizations, and on-campus departments.
We co-host this with the Student Involvement and Leadership Development (SILD) Club fair. Having two simultaneous events creates a dynamic atmosphere to drive student traffic and prospective employee candidates to the event. Employers will be provided with a 6’ table/2 chairs (with plastic table cover if requested) for up to two (2) representatives. In order to reduce the cost for this fair, we will no longer be providing lunch. In this way, we have been able to reduce the registration fee to $50 to our for-profit employer partners.
Up to 20 Non-profit 501(c)(3) organizations may attend with no registration fee. Please select the Non-Profit Option (it will state register and pay, but you will not have to pay). No payment is expected from non-profit organizations.
