- Data Analytics/Engineering
- Information Consulting

Why This Event Matters to Your Recruiting Strategy
Strategic Timing & Location: Network with students right before the:
llinois Gies College of Business fair (September 9-10 at the same location) and
Illinois The Grainger Engineering (September 10-11)
Targeted Access: Engage with high-caliber undergraduates from professional RSOs designed to connect students with organizations like yours through guest lectures, workshops, hackathons, and service projects. Invited RSOs include Psi Eta Mu, Women in Data Science, Society of Women in Business, and the Association of Latino Professionals
Unique Format: Think “networking event with pastry”, instead of a traditional career fair. We’ll provide you with a cafe table and signage with your logo (no need to move your display to the Gies fair afterwards). We’re using this format to encourage group discussions and create an informal atmosphere.
