Students majoring in programs within the College of Business, College of Arts and Sciences, College of Health and Human Performance, and the College of Fine Arts and Communication are especially encouraged to attend this significant event. This career fair is specifically designed to bridge the gap between academic excellence and professional opportunities, offering a platform for students to explore career paths and meet recruiters face-to-face.
To ensure convenient access, transportation will be provided from Central Campus directly to the Greenville Convention Center. This makes it easy for all students to attend and maximize their networking potential at the fair.
While advance registration is not mandatory, students who register proactively will benefit from timely reminders and important career fair updates. Registering ensures you stay informed and prepared as the event approaches.
A valuable addition to this year’s career fair is the availability of FREE professional photos. This is an excellent opportunity to update your professional profile picture, crucial for LinkedIn and other professional networking platforms.
