The University of Nebraska–Lincoln’s Career Services is hosting a series of career fairs the week of Sept. 20-24. School of Computing Students will likely want to attend on Sept. 22 and 23, which are designated for STEM, computing, and engineering career pathways.
The annual fall, in-person Career Fair will take place Sept. 21-24 in the Nebraska Union’s Centennial Room. The Career Fair will be held Sept. 21-23 from noon-4 p.m., and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sept. 24.
An additional, virtual Career Fair will be held from noon-4 p.m. on Oct. 12 and 13.
Students, alumni, and employers can register for the Career Fairs through Handshake. Learn more about Handshake at UNL, and to sign up for your free account if you have not done so already.
