In conjunction with on-campus visits, employers can also host employer events, which provide an opportunity to meet informally with candidates, promote awareness of their company, build rapport and relationships and market job opportunities available for students. Employer events can include but are not limited to case competitions, simulations, presentations, workshops, etc. We encourage employers to be as engaging and innovative as possible!
Please note: tabling in the Business Building is reserved for Corporate Partners and sponsors of The Center for Supply Chain Research.
