Off-Campus Interview Conferences

Off-Campus Interview Conferences (sometimes referred to as job fairs) provide students with the opportunity to interview with multiple employers in one centralized location. These conferences may involve employers looking for summer clerks or first-year associates. Your CSO will always update students on upcoming events.
