• A virtual fair will be hosted on Stags4Hire (Handshake), on Thurs., Oct. 20 from 10 a.m.-noon.

These events will give students convenient opportunities to engage with employers in a variety of formats. Students should not pass on this opportunity to meet with employers who want to hire Fairfield students! The fairs will offer…

• Career Counselors and Career Peer Advisors (CPAs) to assist students
• Networking with employers from a wide range of industries
