Premier Networking Event Options

“Think Tank” meeting for up to eight people
Career Services will host breakfast or lunch for two representatives from your organization plus up to six key faculty, staff, and/or students at the Trailhead Café (or an equivalent location.) This will help problem solve, develop student and faculty connections, provide feedback for programs, and build relationships.

Etiquette Dinner
Support an interactive event that teaches dining etiquette in the career building process. Students will learn the proper table manners to make a positive impression during a lunch or dinner interview. In addition to your logo and organization name recognized as a key sponsor of the event, your organization can identify a representative to be the keynote or introductory presenter to kick off the event.

Student Networking Reception
This interactive event is designed as a professional networking event that gives students and recruiters a chance to meet and interact at a designated time during the semester. Career Services will work with you to ensure the primary student population you are interested in hiring is present at this event. This will include light refreshments.

Create Your Own Idea
We’re always happy to brainstorm a new idea with you that meets the spirit of engaging and connecting with students, faculty, and staff!

Career and Internship Fair Sponsorship

Includes registration fee for both fall and spring career fairs, organization name/logo displayed prominently on all career fair marketing materials, and information highlighting your organization and potential opportunities that will go out via email to all students prior to the fairs.

Signature Event Sponsorship

Your organization has the opportunity to sponsor a current workshop or event hosted by Career Services or the ability to create your own to attract students and build your brand on campus.

Reserved Table in Gateway Center

This includes breakfast or lunch for your organization’s representatives near the Trailhead Café during peak hours to connect with students and build your brand.

One Month of Campus Advertising

Includes advertising around campus, flyer promotion for the month, and a full color poster including company logo and name located in high traffic locations.

In addition to the Employer Partnership Program, the Office of Career Services offers employers one-time sponsorship opportunities to market your organization and increase visibility amongst students, faculty and staff.
