Design Career Fairs

Get ready for the 2024 Design Career Fairs!  Career Services is hosting not one, but TWO career fairs for students interested in the design fields.  Meet representatives from firms and organizations looking to connect with design students, make their work known and recruit for available full-time, part-time, and internship opportunities.

The in-person Design Career Fair is this Thursday, February 8th from 12-4 PM in Houston Hall.  65+ firms are expected to be in attendance.  Visit the Design Career Fair website to register and to see the complete list of employers.  Employers will be in two locations within Houston Hall – both Bodek Lounge and the Hall of Flags. 

The virtual Design Career Fair is Tuesday, February 13th from 12-4 PM held virtually on Handshake and features 25+ firms.  There are two ways for students to meet with employers – both in 30 minute group sessions and in 10 minute 1 on 1 sessions.  All employer interactions at the virtual fair require advance sign up and registration.  Visit the Design Career Fair website to register and to see the complete list of employers.
