Career Days

Career Days are informational, on-campus events with a specific industry or functional focus, including marketing, healthcare, finance, consulting, entrepreneurship, operations, and energy. Employers who participate in Career Days have the opportunity to represent their organization as a key industry player and introduce students to new career paths and opportunities in their field. Co-organized by the student organizations and Industry Practice Leaders, Career Days typically are scheduled on Fridays during the fall semester. Alumni and recruiters can participate through panels, keynotes, roundtable discussions, or networking receptions. To get involved, contact an Industry Practice Leader.

Career Trek

The McDonough Career Center can collaborate with your organization to plan student visits to your employment site. Treks offer a unique supplement to the traditional on-campus information session, allowing you to directly showcase your workplace culture to a targeted group of inspired students. Treks have brought groups of five to 50+ students to employer destinations including New York, London, San Francisco, Tokyo, Boston, Hong Kong, Washington, D.C., and more. Advantages of hosting a trek include:

• Students observe your organization and culture firsthand
• Treks introduce employers to a group of targeted and focused students who have a demonstrated interest in their organization
• Treks are offered in a variety of locations throughout the year, allowing you to align the visit with your specific schedule and recruiting cycle
