Employers who are not in compliance with University policies will be asked to leave the event they are attending and/or not allowed to participate in future Nevada Career Studio events.
Career and internship fairs provide you a convenient opportunity to meet with motivated and skilled students and alumni. Fairs are an excellent way for organizations to gain visibility among students, maximize recruiting efforts for a range of opportunities and build connections for future hiring needs.

In-person information sessions
In-person information sessions hosted on campus will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Email us at careers@unr.edu to speak with one of our Employer Relations team members.
Virtual information sessions
Employers can post an event on their Handshake account. Once you create your virtual event on Handshake, email us at careers@unr.edu and one of our Employer Relations team members will review your virtual event for approval.
Promote your opportunities to students by tabling in a high-traffic area on campus. Meet with students casually and share details about your organization and upcoming openings.
Tabling event participation will be assigned the following priority order:
- Employer sponsors
- Career fair participants
- Non-career fair participants
Email us at careers@unr.edu for future tabling opportunities.
