Collage showing candidates interacting with employers in a career fair setting. "Job & Internship Fair University of Minnesota"

This year's fair may look a little different. In an effort to encourage our underclass students to explore careers without barriers, students will be encouraged to dress in casual attire, such as jeans and a dress shirt.

We hope these changes will encourage more students to join the fair and build your candidate pipeline for the future!
