Hosting a tabling event is a great way to increase your campus presence and recruit students for your internships and part-time/seasonal roles. Tabling is available on Tuesdays and Thursdays fromt 10:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m. during the semester. Tables are free but must be requested at least 14 days in advance so that we can appropriately market the event to students.
Virtual and in-person information sessions connect you with motivated students who are interested in learning more about your organization and opportunities. We will promote your event through Handshake and our other communication channels. To host an information session, contact Michael Szeman, Associate Director, at szemanm@winthrop.edu.
Recommended Days and Times:
Tuesdays/Thursdays, 11 a.m.-12 p.m.
Wednesdays, 5-6 p.m.
We encourage you to host site visits so students can learn about your organization and the various departments and roles within it. If your organization is interested in hosting a site visit/career trek for our students, please e-mail szemanm@winthrop.edu.
We invite employers to participate in our resume review sessions and mock interviews! This is a great way to engage with our students and increase your organization's campus presense and visibility. If you or your organization is interested in participating, please e-mail szemanm@winthrop.edu.
