Career and job fairs

Winter-spring 2010
 

January  |  February  |  March  |  April  |  May

Most spring semester fairs are in winter, several in February.

MANY 2010 DATES ARE TBA.
THEY WILL BE POSTED WHEN KNOWN.
IN THE MEANTIME, VISIT THE SPONSOR'S WEB SITE AND CONTACT THE LISTED SPONSOR TO LEARN MORE.

SHOULD I GO? CAN I GO? All students are welcome to all events, regardless of sponsor. Students should view each fair website and the list of attending employers to determine whether to attend each individual fair; the employment world is not perfectly divided by major and college.
