Daily Schedule

Check-In Procedures

Employer check-in will take place from 8 - 10 a.m. at the Career Center table inside the University Union Ballroom.

The Career Center table will be open all day to address questions or concerns. The Career Center is offering early access between 10 - 10:30 a.m. for students who require reasonable accommodations and may find crowded environments challenging, and to ensure inclusivity and equal opportunities for all participants. As part of our mission to provide equitable services, we highly encourage employers to arrive early and complete setup by 10 a.m.

Your organization is assigned a table based on your requests for electricity, large displays, and number of representatives. We have done our best to accommodate all requests and CANNOT accommodate specific table locations or table sizes on the day of the event. PLEASE NOTE: We strictly enforce the number of representatives per registration. Due to space restrictions, each organization is allowed 2 representatives, and if paid for in advance, up to 5 representatives maximum. Payment can no longer be accepted at the Career Fair. Prepayment is required.

Upon checking in, employers will receive a booth map, daily schedule, and evaluation QR code. If additional items are needed, such as tape, markers, clips, etc., please check to see if the Career Center table has the supplies you need. Per new campus sustainability policies, we are unable to provide plastic bottled water. Water stations will be available at the Career Center Table and in the Cottonwood Suite, 2nd floor. In addition, there are several water fountains located within the University Union; therefore, we recommend your representatives bring their own refillable water bottles.

Breakdown and Exit

The Career Fair ends at 2 p.m. Students arrive at various times throughout the career fair; therefore, we encourage employers not to checkout before 2 p.m. Staff will be available to assist with taking your materials back to the loading dock if needed.
