Information Sessions: One of the best ways to engage with students is through a virtual or in-person information session where you can showcase your organization, introducing students to your workplace, career pathways, and advancement. Most employer sessions are held in the evening after 5pm CT. Typically employers schedule sessions 2-3 weeks prior to first-round interviews.
Coffee Chats: Make connections with students in 1:1 or small group settings. These informal discussions provide a relaxed environment to explore potential fits for your organization and offer valuable industry insights to our student body.
On-Campus Interviews: Our team will guide you in coordinating a seamless interview process by booking and managing day-of interviews.
Career Fairs: Connect with undergraduates across all majors seeking internship and full-time opportunities. We're committed to creating a high quality experience that will benefit your organization in identifying UChicago talent, expanding your brand, and establishing a meaningful connection to the student attendees.
