 One expo. Endless possibilities—jobs, internships, and grad schools all in one place.

This dynamic, all‑majors event brings together employers and graduate programs from a wide range of industries and academic fields. Whether you’re searching for an internship, a full‑time role, or exploring graduate and professional school options, this event offers the chance to network, ask questions, and discover pathways that align with your goals.

• Audience: All students (any year, all majors)
• Attire: Business Casual... or not*

*Wearing a nicer outfit can help make a positive impression, especially if you are actively job searching - you won't go wrong with a jacket, tie, or skirt.  That said, it's better to come as you are than not come at all - particularly if you're just scoping out options.  Don't let your outfit dissuade you from stopping by.
