Semester events

Fall semester 2011

August  |  September  |  October  |  November  |  December

 
Fall fairs happen in September and October.

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
