Career Fairs

Every year, we host two large signature events in the fall and spring which allow you to connect with a large variety of employers interested in hiring across all majors.  Students can log into their Handshake account to see the list of participating employers and sign up for the events.

The next Career Fair will be Spring JOB FEST on February 28, 2023 (Virtual) from 3:00-5:30 pm and March 2, 2023 (In-Person) from 11:30-1:30 pm in McLaren Conference Center!
