We are also hosting a virtual Information Session on November 14 at 9 AM CST, where we invite you to share your insights, input, and ideas to help us design an impactful event tailored to meet the needs of both recruiters and graduate students. Your participation will be instrumental in creating a meaningful experience that facilitates quality connections.

 

About Graduate Career Connect:

Graduate Career Connect is a unique career fair experience crafted specifically for graduate students in research-intensive fields. Unlike traditional career fairs, this event is designed to:

 

  1. Offer Targeted Matchmaking: Connect with graduate students whose research skills and expertise align with your company’s needs, streamlining the hiring process.

  2. Enable In-Depth Interactions: Through sessions like one-on-one speed networking and portfolio showcases, companies can engage in meaningful, focused conversations with students.

  3. Showcase Student Skills Beyond Resumes: Students present their skills and projects in visually engaging formats, such as portfolios and Visumes (video resumes), giving you a comprehensive view of their capabilities.

  4. Provide Visa-Friendly Recruitment Guidance: This event is designed to help companies clearly communicate their willingness to sponsor visas to support the best matches for opportunities.
