Fall Career Information

 There are recent alumni who are now regretful that they didn't participate more with career exploration events as a student so we really want to make sure students are aware of all of these opportunities! 

The big event for now is the virtual Career & Internship Fair. View all career events

CAREER & INTERNSHIP FAIR, Sept. 23, 24, & 24: The annual Career and Internship Fair, hosted by the University Career Center, provides UMD students and alumni with an opportunity to meet with employers to discuss internship, full-time and part-time employment opportunities.  Employers are looking forward to meeting undergraduate and graduate students!
