If your organization is recruiting, contacts made at this event could lead to new hires! However, if positions are not currently available, we hope you will attend and share career advice, identify skills students should be cultivating, and answer questions about the work you do.
Organizations seeking to connect with students will have an opportunity to enhance their brand on campus, as well as recruit talented undergraduate Economics students from the University of Maryland. We expect a significant percentage of our 800+ undergraduate and master’s students will participate.
