Career fairs offer you the opportunity to explore different career fields, learn about internships and full-time job openings, and make connections with hiring organizations.
This year we are offering a new format called MeetUps, which gives students an opportunity to connect with professionals across specific industries. Following a panel, students can meet with partners and alumnae/i in small groups to learn about career paths, organizations, and any internship, volunteer or full-time opportunities.
