Hybrid Master’s, PhD, and Postdoc Career Fair welcomes hundreds of students

CAPD is happy to report that the hybrid in-real-life/virtual Master’s, PhD, and Postdoc Career Fair on 3/31 and 4/1 was a smashing success! CAPD’s first in-person career fair in two and a half years had 204 candidates in the Johnson Athletic Center talking to over 80 representatives from 33 companies. Meanwhile, the virtual career fair in Handshake allowed 283 graduate students to connect with 82 organizations in online group sessions and scheduled 1-on-1 chats.  

We are excited to continue to bring career events back to campus while leveraging the strength and accessibility of virtual fairs – as one student put it, “The virtual fair brings attendees that might not otherwise make the trip.”  

Be on the lookout for info on the hybrid 2022 Fall Career Fair (scheduled for September 23rd in-person along with a virtual fair, also in September) coming soon!
