Career Days
You’re not following a path, you’re making one.
Career Days is an event series held each spring semester of cross-campus events designed to help YOU kickstart your career journey! Whether you’re looking to build skills, explore industries, or make connections, we’ve got something for everyone.
From intimate workshops to large-scale career fairs, no matter what you’re studying, you’ll find exciting opportunities waiting for you.
Stay tuned for our 2027 Career Days line up coming your way in Spring 2027 and in the mean time check out our Career Days 2026 events where we focused on being the main character of our storis. For every event students attended they not only left with a robust catalog of career skills and resources, but were also entered to win some awesome prizes including an Instax hybrid camera, KODAK retro photo printer, A Zootwon Festival Ticket, or a bunch of Griz gear!
