In-person Career Fair on September 17th (11am-4pm at the Kansas Union):

 

  • Arrival: Please arrive at the Mississippi Street Parking Garage (entrances at 1201 Oread Ave and across from 1301 Mississippi Street). Drive through the garage until you see us if you need help unloading items from your vehicle. If you do not need to unload items, park anywhere in the garage and proceed directly to your booth on the 4th and 5th and 6th floors of the Kansas Union. We will be ready for your arrival starting at 8am. The parking garage may fill up so come early if you have mobility concerns. Overflow parking is near the football stadium.
  • When you arrive in the garage, we are happy to tell you your Booth Number/Room/Floor Number and how to proceed to the fair. We will provide breakfast snack items and coffee in the hospitality room on each floor. Students will be in attendance at the fair from 11am to 4pm.
  • Nametags: If the names of the recruiters in attendance has changed, please email us by September 1st so that we can make nametags. Your nametags will be waiting for you at your booth. If you need another nametag or if you need a red alumnus ribbon for your nametag, let the staff know at the info booth on your floor. You may have three representatives per table (6-ft long).
  • Lunch: At lunchtime, each recruiter can pick up a $15 lunch card at the info table on your floor. Dining options are located on the third floor and are open from 8am-7pm.
  • Please complete parking pre-registration for the career fair any time before you park: Pre-registration link available soon.

 

  • Booth map: We do not have CFPlus this year so we will assign booths. You will see the booth number on Handshake. All booths have electricity (except even numbers from 502-514).  We will put a link to the floor may here soon and it will be available on the Handshake App, which students will be using in lieu of a paper booklet for company overviews and map.
