Career Fairs

Every year, we host a large signature event in the spring, which allows 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 Tuesday, February 25, 2025 (In-Person) from 11:30-1:30 pm in McLaren Conference Center and Wednesday, February 26, 2024 (Virtual) from 5:00 - 7:00 pm in Handshake!
