Semester events

Fall 2008
Spring semester 2009
 

January  |  February  |  March  |  April  |  May

Most of spring semester happens in winter!

What? Seminars, career fairs & other events we sponsor, co-sponsor, or endorse.

Who? All students are welcome to all events, regardless of sponsor.
Should I go to a career fair? Students should view each career fair website to find attending employers to determine whether to attend each individual fair; the employment world is not perfectly divided by major and college.

Not listed on this calendar!!:
Daily M-F walk-in advising is available, except during...
Occasional closings noted in office hours
