Networking events

CSE Career Fair Kickoff
Wednesday, Sept. 10
9:30 a.m.–noon
Lind Hall, Courtyard (outdoors)

Get a head start on connecting with top talent at the CSE Career Fair Kickoff—an exclusive opportunity for CSE Career Services sponsors to begin networking with students in a relaxed, informal setting before the fall CSE Career Fair.

Weather permitting, this event will take place in the Lind Hall Courtyard, where each sponsor will host a table to meet students, answer questions, and share information about their organization and upcoming opportunities.

The inaugural Kickoff event saw high student engagement, leading to more meaningful conversations during the career fair and throughout the recruiting season. It’s a great way to boost your brand visibility, build early interest, and strengthen your hiring pipeline.

As an added incentive, students who visit sponsor tables will have a chance to earn a CSE-branded padfolio, courtesy of CSE Career Services.

We invite you to become a sponsor and take full advantage of this high-impact event for networking, branding, and early talent identification!

CSE First Year Student Major and Career Exploration Fair
Monday, Sept. 29
Noon–4 p.m.
Coffman Memorial Union, Great Hall

The CSE Major and Career Exploration Fair offers a unique opportunity for your organization to connect with more than 1,700 motivated first-year students who are eager to explore potential career paths and learn about various industries. All College of Science and Engineering first-year students are required to attend, making this event a prime chance to build brand awareness and establish a strong campus presence early in the academic year.

By participating, you'll showcase your company’s brand to a diverse student audience, highlight internship opportunities tailored for first-year students, and build relationships with future talent. Engaging with students at this stage of their academic journey allows you to create a pipeline of well-prepared candidates who are already familiar with your organization’s values and opportunities. You'll also have the chance to share your industry knowledge and expertise—positioning your company as a leader and inspiring students to consider careers in your field.
