Semester events
Spring semester 2012 |
|
|
What? Seminars, career fairs & other events we sponsor, co-sponsor, or endorse.
Who? All students are welcome to all events, unless a specific event sponsor indicates the invitation is limited; consult sponsors.
Should I go to a career fair? Students should view each career fair website to find attending employers to determine whether to attend each individual fair; the employment world is not perfectly divided by major and college.
Not listed on this calendar!!:
• Daily M-F walk-in advising is available, except during...
• Occasional closings noted in office hours
• Employer info sessions: Hokies4Hire Career events > search > employer info sessions.
