Career
Fairs
Alumni are one of our key assets for professional development
and recruiting. Come to a Career Fair to meet students and
talk about your employer and collect resumes from interested
students and alumni.
Job
Shadowing
This program provides students the opportunity to visit
your worksite and “shadow” you, observing some of the activities of
an actual day-in-the-life in your profession. Shadowing experiences
are unique for every mentor and mentee, but the goal is ultimately
the same – to take a day to explore a possible career field and to
lay the groundwork for future networking possibilities.
Mock Interview
Day
This event will help students gain essential interview
experience by learning from those who’ve been there and done
that! Come help students brush up on their interview skills
as they head towards applying for internships, part-time positions,
full-time jobs, and/or campus leadership roles. Offer
practice and provide honest feedback when it comes to presenting
themselves professionally and answering questions.
Dining
Etiquette
Help students learn to navigate a formal dinner with
style!
It is possible that our students will be asked to dinner or lunch
for a business meeting, or even for a job interview. During
this workshop, over four courses, students will learn all about the
do's and don'ts of business dining.
Coffee with a
COACH
This series is designed to provide career information and
professional development to students in an informal setting.
Alumni career mentors provide a brief talk about their career
history with a small group of students around a roundtable.
Student questions and interactive discussion follows.
Special
Events
The University Career Services hosts a wide range of events and
activities throughout the year geared toward understanding the
world of work. We aim to provide students with the opportunity to
interact with top executives, civic and government leaders, and
hiring managers in informal and formal settings. If you have
interest in sharing your knowledge; hosting a group of students for
a tour of your company; or an idea for a program, please do not
hesitate to contact us.
