Registration is now open for the Virtual Fall Career Fair! Click here to sign up for 1:1 and group meetings with over  200 employers.

As you prepare for the fair, it’s important that you register for employer sessions in advance. Remember to look at all of the attendees! Employers may be attending the ‘STEM’ day but also looking for a digital arts major! Find out more about the career fair here.

Here are some upcoming events to help you prepare for the fair:

Career Fair To Dos:
