Register
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.
