Information sessions are a great way to present to a group of students, share information about your company and your job/internship opportunities, and answer any questions they may have.
Career Services will market your information session to your desired student groups based on majors and class levels. We send direct emails to the target student population and reach out to relevant clubs to promote attendance at these events.
You can host a session in person or virtually, though in-person events tend to be the most successful. In-person sessions generally take place in the evening, Monday-Thursday, to ensure students can attend outside their class schedule.
When conducting an information session on campus, consider maximizing your visit by conducting on-campus interviews. Please see our On-Campus Interviewing page for more information.
