From the Director
Students have just returned to campus for the spring semester, but it's already clear that the recruiting season is in full swing. During winter break, almost 50 Richmond students took part in Spider Road Trips, which allowed them to explore media and communications in New York City and government and nonprofit organizations in Washington, D.C. and Richmond. Nearly 20 organizations hosted our students, providing tours of their locations, industry information and insight on potential career opportunities. For more information on our Spider Road Trip program and how you can become involved, visit http://cdc.richmond.edu/programs/road-trips.html.
Registration is also open for spring on-campus recruiting. Select days to interview students on campus or host an information session about your organization. For details, visit http://cdc.richmond.edu/employers/on-campus-recruiting-employers.html. Three industry-focused expos are also planned for this semester, including the Health & Science Expo; Communications Expo; and Nonprofit & Education Expo. For details on how to attend, visit http://cdc.richmond.edu/programs/industry-expos/index.html.
In addition to the opportunities to connect with Richmond students on campus, the University of Richmond will be represented at several regional recruiting events, including MetroLink Washington, D.C. Feb. 11 and the Government and Nonprofit Career Expo in Washington, D.C. Feb. 18.
If you're looking for a way to raise your organization's visibility on campus, I would encourage you to consider participating as a mock interviewer to help students prepare for internship and job searches and refine their interviewing skills. For scheduling information, contact Sarah Kuhn at (804) 289-8547. And, if after watching the employer testimonial video included in this newsletter, you would like to add your organization's perspective to the project, contact our office at (804) 289-8547.
Thank you for continuing to partner with our office.
Sincerely,
Leslie Stevenson
