Many of our students have made great connections at our Networking Forum in the past, and this is going to be another great year. Please know that this is not your typical career fair.

Both the Networking Forum and Career Fair will be extremely beneficial to expanding your network, meeting with a large number of organizations, and learning about great employment opportunities.
I look forward to getting your company preferences.
