EMPLOYER SPOTLIGHTS

The Feld Center hosts a variety of employer spotlights, from smaller lunchtime gatherings to large auditorium presentations.

EXECUTIVE-IN-RESIDENCE

NETWORKING EVENTS

The Feld Center hosts many events each semester that bring together alumni, industry professionals, and students for networking and career advice. They range from large, “speed networking” events to smaller, more intimate programs, including our lunchtime series called “Bites & Insights.”

ON-CAMPUS INTERVIEWS When our employer partners select the students they wish to interview, the Feld Center can assist by organizing on-campus interview schedules in our on-site interview suite. We take care of the logistics for the employer, and our students enjoy greater scheduling flexibility and the ability to interview in a familiar and comfortable environment.

COMPANY TREKS

The Feld Center works with student organizations and industry partners to organize and execute company site visits that focus on education, recruiting, or both!
