Semester events

Fall semester 2008	Spring 2009
August \| September \| October \| November \| December Fall 2009 semester events will be posted in August.

What? Seminars, career fairs & other events we sponsor, co-sponsor, or endorse.

Who? All students are welcome to all events, regardless of sponsor.
Should I go to a career fair? Students should view each career fair website to find attending employers to determine whether to attend each individual fair; the employment world is not perfectly divided by major and college.

Not listed on this calendar!!:
• Daily M-F walk-in advising is available, except during...
• Occasional closings noted in office hours
