Attend a Job Fair

Architecture Career Night 2025

Each fall and spring, The Center for Career Development invites innovative employers to join us on campus to engage directly with our talented students from the School of Engineering, the School of Architecture, and the School of Art. These events provide not only prime recruitment opportunities but also allow you to contribute meaningfully to students’ career development.

By participating, your organization can showcase exciting career paths, identify strong candidates for internships and full-time roles, and build lasting connections with emerging professionals who bring creativity, technical expertise, and fresh perspectives to the workforce.

Our largest career event, held twice yearly during Tuesday club hours (12:00–2:00 PM) in the historic Great Hall, regularly draws over 150 students. Regional employers—and many alumni—participate, eager to connect with students from the departments they once called home.
