The Doors Closed… But the Opportunities Opened
The 2026 Spring Career Fair showcased the power of in-person connections for students and employers alike. Over two days, 1,727 students engaged with more than 230 employers, creating meaningful connections that are already translating into internships and full-time opportunities. As one student shared, “I made real connections and lined up my summer internship options.”
The newly expanded two-day format, along with collaborative networking events hosted in partnership with the Colleges of Agriculture, Business, and Engineering, created powerful spaces for connection. Students took part in 2,659 event sessions in total, including 932 who returned for multiple sessions to maximize engagement with employers.
The impact continued beyond the fair itself. The following day, 126 students participated in full-time interviews, several with multiple organizations, and some received offers on Interview Day. Many others have since embarked on hiring processes, clear evidence that when Bobcats connect directly with employers, opportunity follows.
Students now it’s your turn to keep the momentum going. Follow up with recruiters. Submit applications promptly. Explore opportunities through Hire-A-Bobcat. Many employers are eager to hire Bobcats, and one thoughtful step, like sending a brief thank-you note, can set you apart.
