On-Campus Events

Brand your organization on campus, engage with the Brandeis community, and connect with students through Hiatt's career fairs and industry specific career forums. The forums provide direct exposure and engagement with target faculty and students in a way general career fairs cannot. In addition to marketing your organization, Hiatt’s forums allow you to foster deeper connections on-campus and engage future interns and full-time hires sooner in their academic careers.

New This Year! Based on the success of the structure for the 2012 Just In Time Job and Internship Fair, Hiatt will host post-forum interview days following each of the scheduled 2012 - 2013 forums. During each forum, employers will have the opportunity to identify stand-out candidates and invite them to sign-up for an interview or one-on-one informational meeting on the day following each event.
