Attend a job fair
- The All Majors Career and Internship Fair opens at Russell House on Tuesday and runs through Thursday (March 19-21). With over 100 companies registered to attend, this is a great chance to see full-time roles, internship opportunities and graduate school programs. You can attend all three days, and casual attire is acceptable.
- If you're new to career fairs, First Time Tours are available at noon and 1:30 p.m. each day. This is a chance to walk with a career coach and learn how to navigate the fair. This tour is geared to freshmen and sophomores, but all students are welcome to attend. Registration links will be sent in your confirmation email.
