Corporate Engagement
The college is continuously working to strengthen and expand meaningful partnerships with some of the top employers in the industry to create employment pipelines that benefit students and industry partners. The college's corporate engagement office works with partners across campus to provide a wide range of benefits to students, including resume reviews, job postings, field trips to corporate offices, guest speakers, career fairs and more.
Career Fairs
The college's signature corporate engagement event is the HRSM Experience Expo — a career and opportunity fair exclusively for HRSM students. The event gives students the chance to meet with dozens of employers who are actively looking for interns and full-time employees right on campus.
Additionally, the Department of Sport and Entertainment Management hosts an annual industry conference that includes a career fair focused on sport and entertainment management careers. These events are also in addition to career fairs held by the university, so there are limitless opportunities.
Faculty Connections
Our faculty's commitment to student success goes beyond teaching. Many of our professors have extensive industry experience, and they regularly call on their own professional contacts to give students even more opportunities to find career opportunities and meet with executives who are leading the industry today.
