Student Agenda

Heavy refreshments will be served. 

Grab a bite to eat and learn how to create your 60-second elevator pitch and ask power questions that will help you instantly connect with hiring managers, recruiters and others.

You will also have the opportunity to practice your elevator speech, ask your power questions and learn more about multiple companies that are seeking to hire talented diverse students. Each participant will be given a passport to speak with six different company representatives, speed-networking style. This means you get to engage with several companies in a short amount of time. Each student is encouraged to collect six stickers in their passport by the end of the event. Those who do so can then be entered in a drawing to win door prizes that will be given away at the end of the event.
