On-Campus-Recruitment FAQ

WMU commitment to employers: Employer Engagement will reserve a campus location and pay the parking fees for two representatives. Our team assists to promote campus visits on Handshake and markets them to college departments and applicable student majors at WMU.

Employer commitment to WMU: Since employer visits are promoted to students, we ask for your commitment to attend. Please arrange to have an alternate representative staff your session if you are not able to come. 

Job opportunities discussed with students during your visit must be posted on Handshake, WMU’s student job portal.

Western Michigan University is committed to the values of diversity, equity, and inclusion, which are central to student achievement and success. Additionally, the WMU nondiscrimination policy prohibits behavior which limits participation in university activities on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, disability, protected veteran status, height, weight, or marital status.

In this context, Career and Student Employment Services expects all employer representatives participating in career activities to serve every student equally. This includes appropriate time spent with each student, as well as the quality of feedback they receive.

Food items such as packaged snacks, candy, donuts, and Pepsi products are approved.
