Information
Sessions
When strategically planned,
an information session can
be an important part of your overall campus recruiting
approach. Hosting a session allows you to promote your
company’s job and internship opportunities as well
as meet
potential candidates prior to campus interviews or other
recruiting-related events. We recommend
late afternoon or early evening, and the promise of pizza
or other food/drink items will usually boost attendance.
Here are some tips for setting
up your session:
-
To schedule an information
session, login into your GauchoLink account and
click on events OR, under QuickLinks,
select New

Request.
-
Fill out all the required details
regarding your event. Please include information regarding
what the information session will cover, the types
of students who should attend (major, grade level,
etc.), and positions recruiting for.

Once we receive your request,
Career Services
staff will review
it and assign your information session to a location (either
