INFORMATION SESSIONS & EVENTS

We offer on-campus and virtual information sessions and events for employers looking to engage with a smaller, targeted group of students. These events consist of an organized presentation or coordinated forum that Richmond students attend to learn more about an organization, employment opportunities, as well as the recruiting process and timeline.

JOB, INTERNSHIP, & GRADUATE SCHOOL FAIRS

Job, Internship, & Graduate School Fairs remain the top way to connect with Richmond students and recent graduates at large. These events provide an opportunity to showcase your organization and available full-time jobs, internships, and externships, as well as build your talent pipeline and recruit Spiders.

OFFICE HOURS

During these one-on-one informational meetings, students gain greater understanding of your industry, organization, and specific employment opportunities as well ways to develop professional skills and experience. Office Hours can complement interviews, information sessions, fair attendance, or they can be set up as stand-alone events.

ON-CAMPUS/VIRTUAL RECRUITING
