2021 Virtual Spring Career Days

Every semester the University of Arizona facilitates a multi-day career fair that brings together employers who are actively recruiting and networking.

The Graduate Career Consortium Virtual Career Expo is a single day, online career expo for advanced degree students, postdocs, and alumni in fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, Humanities, Arts, and Social Science.

While details are still forthcoming, the event is scheduled for March 3, 2021, so make sure to put a hold on your calendar that day and stay tuned for more information in the coming weeks! If you have questions in the interim, please contact Dr. Joel Muraco<mailto:muraco at email.arizona.edu>.
