Each year, the Career Development Center hosts a career fair in the spring semester.
This is a great opportunity for students to connect with employers and learn about
potential internship and job opportunities while in college and post-graduation. Each
year, we average 75 employers attending the event, and over 300 student participate
in the event.
Our employer engagement events are designed to connect students with recruiters and
employers. These events are usually virtual to allow students to engage with a wide
range of employers from locations across the country. Events are added regularly so
be sure to check the calendar of events often to see what is available.
