Attend an Event

For the 2024–25 academic year, the Career Center is organizing our major recruiting events and programs in three Career Readiness Weeks (fall, winter, and spring). Career Readiness Weeks are dedicated to students’ career exploration and career readiness, each with a different theme, and will feature a mix of in-person and virtual workshops, panel discussions, networking opportunities, and at least one career fair.

Employers interested in building brand awareness on campus and developing deeper connections with our students are invited to sponsor a Career Readiness Week or a career fair. Contact the Employer Engagement Team with your questions.
