Career Fair
Our semi-annual career fair is open to all students and all majors. It is one of the largest in the country, bringing more than 400 companies and 2,000 recruiters to campus each year. The fall 2024 Career Fair is Tuesday, September 24, 12–5 p.m., in the Student Development Complex.
Career Fest
Career Fest is a series of casual networking and recruiting events where companies show off what they do to attract Huskies' attention. In the fall, these events are held outside during the weeks leading up the Career Fair. Career Fest also includes lightning resume review events where recruiters review and critique students' resumes.
