2025 East Falls Career Day & Design Expo

Thursday, February 27, 2025, 12:30 PM - 2:30 PM

The Gallagher Athletic, Recreation & Convocation Center

This event is a mixture of an interview day and a career fair and will be open to all majors! Before the event, employers who are interviewing at the Spring Career Day & Design Expo will receive an email with portfolio links and/or resumes of the students who preregistered to attend. The employers interviewing will then select the student(s)s they are interested in, and then student(s) will schedule interviews with the employers.

Are you only interested in attending the career fair portion of the day?

Not a problem! At the time of registration, you will indicate if you are interested in hosting interviews or would only like to attend the career fair portion of the day.
