SUMMARY:2026 Fall STEM Career & Internship Fair
DESCRIPTION:Here is a chance to meet tech recruiters in person! \nIf you are interested in pursuing a career in science\, technology\, engineering\, mathematics or research\, then take advantage of this opportunity to meet recruiters from companies looking to fill various positions (both technical and non-technical). Learn more about internships and full-time career opportunities. Undergraduate students\, graduate students\, and recent alumni are all welcome to attend! \nCurious about how to best prepare for the fair? \n1. Research the organization \nIdentify the top 3-5 companies you are interested in\, but remember to be open to different companies you may not have heard of because they may be a startup or business-to-business organization that doesn’t directly serve consumers. \nDo your research by reviewing company websites. Look for their mission\, values\, location\, and the type of available opportunities (e.g.\, internships\, full-time positions\, etc.). Company representatives are impressed by potential candidates who take the time to do this! \n2. Prepare your introduction and questions \nReflect on what it is about each company that resonates with you. Perhaps it’s the specific technology they’re developing\, the research they’re leading\, or the world problem they’re trying to solve. What relevant experiences do you have? How can you be of service to that organization? Exercise critical thinking skills to develop questions to ask recruiters and hiring managers. \n3. Dress with confidence \nEach industry and each company has different work attire expectations and organizational culture. Do your research\, ask mentors in advance for advice\, and dress to impress! \nPLEASE NOTE: You are encouraged to check in at the student registration table in order to participate in the career fair. Bring your student ID. \nWant more support? \n\nVisit a peer coach during drop-in hours\nSchedule a career coaching appointment with a Career Engagement Specialist\nFor PhD students looking to pursue careers in industry\, explore Beyond the Professoriate\n(Scroll over “Login to Platform” at the top navigation bar and click “Through your institution”)\nGet career tips on demand from our Career Success YouTube video library\nStay in the loop by following Career Success on Instagram\n\nYou will receive registration and additional information in your email from Career Success via Handshake.

How can you be of service to that organization? Exercise critical thinking skills to develop questions to ask recruiters and hiring managers. \n3.
