Faculty and staff are sometimes contacted directly by employers seeking the “best and brightest” students to fill job openings, apply for scholarships, or participate in programs. We encourage you to refer all such contacts to our office. We strive to meet the employers’ request while also adhering to the appropriate employment guidelines for equal access to employment.
Employers would like to visit your classes to speak about topics relevant to your class content. If you are interested in having one or more employers visit your class, contact us. We encourage the use of alumni in this role.
Career and Student Employment Services visits employers to discuss their need for college-educated talent; student qualifications and skills for internships; and building university-employer relations. Let us know if you would like to accompany us on an employer visit, or if you have an employer you would like us to add to our mailing lists.
Some employers schedule information sessions to discuss their organization with students, faculty, and staff. Our office can make arrangements; however, the visit is more impactful if we can partner with faculty or staff.
