The Campus Recruiting Program gives students the opportunity to attend information sessions, coffee chats, educational workshops facilitated by employers and interviews for internships and full-time positions.

• Review the recruiting calendar. Full-time and internship positions associated with on-campus recruiting will be visible through Handshake August 16. The largest recruiting event of the year is the Fall HireTigers Career Fair, which will take place on Friday, Sept. 17.
• Details about information sessions can be found on Handshake. Additional sessions will be added throughout the summer and fall as more dates are confirmed. Take note of which sessions interest you and research each organization, including their mission, priorities, social responsibility, diversity initiatives, etc.
• Sign up for the HireTigers Virtual Career Fair in Handshake.
• Our Community Standards will help you navigate decisions and challenges that may arise during the recruiting process, including canceling interviews, evaluating jobs/internship offers, offer policies and special policies for students studying abroad or on a leave of absence. Don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.
