Hi Faculty Colleagues,
I promised many of you to update when we had information on UNL’s Fall Career Fairs. Engineering Career Services (Bonnie Martin specifically!) has been heavily involved in this planning. ECS will be working hard to prepare all Engineering students for a successful virtual fair experience. More information to come on The Durham School Career Fair in the coming weeks. The date is still Tuesday, September 29.
All Fall 2020 UNL Career Fairs will be Virtual via Handshake (https://unl.joinhandshake.com/login) Platform

Some important notes:
- Unless otherwise noted, all University Career Services events, fairs, and interviews will be virtual.
- Unless otherwise noted, we will be using Handshake for our virtual platform.
- We are breaking up our typical large two-day University Career Fair days into four smaller virtual career fairs centered around Career Pathways. Employers will be able to attend up to two of the four days with their career fair registration.
- Interview schedules can be set up through Handshake and scheduled virtually.
- If you want to learn more about what the Handshake Virtual Career Fair experience will be like, since it’s new to so many of us, here is some information: https://learn.joinhandshake.com/career-centers/virtual-career-fair-on-handshake/
Reach out with any questions! If you learn of an employer who needs assistance, please connect them with Engineering Career Services through any of us: jenskidmore@unl.edu, bonniemartin@unl.edu, robiaqasimyar@unl.edu
Thank you for your support & understanding.
