The Campus Interview Program offers students the opportunity to interact with approximately 200 organizations each year seeking students to fill permanent full-time positions for after graduation as well as internship opportunities. While the organizations who participate are quite selective and competition for positions quite keen, the process of interviewing can assist you in better defining your career goals and improve your interview skills. The procedures for participating in the Campus Interview Program are described in the following paragraphs. Please be certain to utilize other services offered by the Career Services Center as you conduct your job search.
