There are two versions of the Design Career Fair this year:
In-person: Friday, February 24th
Virtual: Tuesday, February 28th
You will need to register for both events on Handshake to connect with the employers participating in each event. Meet representatives from firms and organizations looking to connect with Design students, make their work known and recruit for available full-time, part-time, and internship opportunities. We expect over 70 firms at the in-person fair this year!
