We are seeking employers and UMD alumni working in the areas related to psychology to attend and share information with students.

Organizations seeking to connect with undergraduate students will have an opportunity to enhance their brand on campus as well as recruit young talent from the University of Maryland! Students attend to learn about career options, skills in demand, and make new contacts. This is a free event.

If you have current undergraduate internship or full-time Bachelor's Level job openings, contacts made at this event could lead to new hires! However, even if positions are not currently available, we hope you will attend and share career advice and answer questions about the work you do.

Note: We have a limited number of spots, so registrations will be accepted until capacity is reached. Due to space, we request no more than two professionals register per organization.  All participants must be representing a specific agency or organization as a designated employee or volunteer who is officially staffed with that organization. 

Questions? Contact the Feller Center- BSOS at bsoscareers@umd.edu 

*This event will primarily attract undergraduate psychology majors. 

Co-sponsored with the University of Maryland Department of Psychology, the Feller Center in BSOS, and the University Career Center.

Undergraduate students of psychology possess an in-depth understanding of the human condition, trained in statistics and experimental methodologies to facilitate the mental health and emotional well-being of a diverse world and broad cultural landscape. As a result, psychology majors are an ideal fit for a variety of careers and employment settings inclusive of business and industry, education, health care, non-profit organizations, behavioral health systems, and social science/neurological research firms.

A common theme or mission of all psychology majors is a genuine passion and desire to deliver and implement an assortment of resources, services, and programs to enhance human quality of life measures.
