If you are an employer looking for information about upcoming fairs, please go to our Employer Fairs page.

 

Our campus hosts a number of career fairs each year. These are a great way for you to:

  • make contact with multiple employers at one time,
  • learn about organizations and opportunities in your field, and
  • hopefully be invited for an in-person interview.

If you think of the 2-3 minute exchange with an employer at a career fair as a mini job interview, you can prepare for it accordingly.

Accommodations for the career fair are available. Specific accommodations should be requested at least 2 weeks prior to the career fair by contacting the University Career Center at ucc-studenthelp@umd.edu.

For each in-person fair, please note individual registration suggestions; students are welcome regardless of advance registration. 
For virtual fairs, registration is required on Handshake.
