Semester events
| Fall 2008 | Spring semester 2009
|
What? Seminars, career fairs & other events we sponsor, co-sponsor, or endorse.
Who? All students are welcome to all events, regardless of sponsor.
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...
