why attend

This is your first chance to meet many of the employers who will be here in a few weeks to interview. Interview season starts October 1st.

Recruiters are more likely to interview students they’ve had the opportunity to meet in the past. You can make this day count. Come to the Expo to start a conversation, then reconnect with recruiters who will be attending the university-wide career fair.

What is the difference between the Expo and the Career Fair?
The Business Career Expo, is an exclusive event targeted to business students and veteran students from all majors in a format that combines the best aspects of a career fair and a networking event. The Expo’s smaller size enhances the opportunity for more focused and meaningful conversations with key employers.
