Information Sessions and Table Events
Many employers conduct information sessions or participate in tabling events prior to their interview date. While completely optional, this can be an efficient way to share company information with a group of candidates. Whether seeking to generate interest from all majors, or a specific college, you will find facilities on or near the MSU campus to meet your needs.

Career Treks
Consider hosting a group of students at your location. Our Career Treks offer students the chance to explore and gain insight into a range of career fields. These unique, immersive experiences allow students to engage with organizations, learn about various career paths, and make valuable professional connections while providing an interesting way to introduce students to your organization.

Coffee Chats
Coffee Chats allow employers to connect with students individually for brief (15-30 minute) career conversations or you can schedule longer blocks of time to accommodate groups.
