Who Attends: 150 Employers and over 1400 UConn undergraduates, graduate students, and alumni.

Cost: $550.00. This fee covers the cost for an 8’ x 8’ booth with 6’ table or 8’ table without booth, two chairs, draping, a company sign, parking, continental breakfast, and lunch. Up to 4 company representatives are included. Additional reps are welcome for an added cost of $20 per person.

Registration Instructions: Registration must be completed through our HuskyCareerLink system, which you can access by logging in at www.career.uconn.edu. If you are new to the system, please register as a new employer; once granted access to the system, you can proceed with registering for the fair.

Once you log in:

• Click on “Events” at the top of the page.
  On the Career Fair tab, click “Register” next to the Fall Career Fair 2009.
  Fill out the registration form
• The overview of your organization must be 100 words or less. If your overview exceeds 100 words, Career Services reserves the right to edit the submission.
• Confirm your registration. You will receive an email indicating that your registration has been received, along with an invoice. Registration on HuskyCareerLink alone does not guarantee attendance. Confirmation occurs once registration is complete, payment is received, and your organization is approved by the Department of Career Services.
• PRIOR to submitting the registration form, print out a copy of the paperwork to have written documentation of the registration.

Arrival: Employers may arrive and have access to the event floor beginning at 8:30 AM with the expectation that your booth will be set up by 10:15AM.

Dropping Off Supplies: There is a designated Drop Off area on Stadium Road, next to Gampel Pavilion and right before the entrance to the Parking Garage. Look for the Drop Off sign. Haulers will be available to take your materials to your booth. Please stop, unload, and park your vehicle in the garage, and then return to Gampel when you are ready to go to your booth. Haulers will take your materials back to the Drop Off location at the end of the Fair, where, after picking up your vehicle, you can return and load up. Haulers will not take materials into the Parking Garage.

Food: A Continental Breakfast will be available in the morning, lunch will be served from 11:30 AM - 1:30 PM, and refreshments and drinks will be available in the afternoon. A word of caution: Finding time to leave your booth and eat can be challenging if numbers of students are stopping by. Please plan accordingly.

Interviewing Students: There are no facilities to conduct in-depth interviews in Gampel Pavilion during the Fair. Students do not expect to be interviewed during the Fair. Participate in our On Campus Recruiting Program (for more information, click here) or set up candidate interviews at your site.

Giveaways: It's become a tradition. From tee-shirts to hats to the ubiquitous water bottles, students love to load up on your marketing goodies, so bring lots of good stuff.

Important Information: Your attendance at the Fair is not finalized until payment is received at Career Services and you have been sent a confirmation of attendance via email.

If you select that you will be paying by check, please send us payment as soon after you register as possible. Checks should be made payable to University of Connecticut Career Services, and sent to:
