I am an alumni, how do I register?
If you're an alumni for one of the 16 participating schools without a .edu email address, you will need to contact your schools career center to be added to their Handshake account and then proceed with registering. Only students with a .edu email address or who are already linked to a school will be able to participate in the fair.
Will students be able to submit their resumes to employers? Without joining sessions?
- Yes! When students sign up to meet with employers in 1:1 and/or group sessions, they are added to a RSVPs list, and employers will have access to these students’ public resumes before and after the fair.
