Fall 2024 Events
Nov. 7, 2024, Noon-4 p.m., Virtual
Thank you for your interest in attending the N.C. Master’s & Doctoral Virtual Career Fair, which will be held on Thursday, November 7, from noon to 4 p.m.
This is the 24th Annual NC Master’s and Doctoral Career Fair hosted by Duke University, NC State University, UNC-Chapel Hill, UNC-Charlotte, UNC-Greensboro, and Wake Forest University.
This event continues to grow due to the participation of employers/organizations and the over 500 advanced degree candidates who usually attend each year. It attracts diverse talent throughout the state and region.
Students and scholars from various academic disciplines will attend, including Biochemistry, Biology, Economics, Engineering, Environmental Policy, History, Immunology, Mathematics, Philosophy, Psychology, Statistics, and many more! This is a great opportunity to share opportunities ranging from internships, postdoctoral and full-time positions with Master’s, PhD Candidates, and postdocs.
As part of the fair, organizations receive at no additional cost:
*the option to have as many representatives as you’d like online to host 10-minute one-on-one chat sessions with applicants; each representative will be able to tailor their schedule within the hours of the fair itself
*The option to host 30-minute information sessions within the career fair hours; each information session has a capacity of 50 attendees (the count includes organization representatives and students); you may use the Handshake platform to host the session or provide a link for an external platform (which allows you to surpass the 50 attendee capacity)
Nov. 7, 2024, 1-6 p.m., Virtual
Davidson College, N.C. State, UNC-Chapel Hill, UNC-Wilmington, and Wake Forest University will host the 2024 Graduate & Professional School Day Fair (virtually via Handshake) on Thursday, Nov. 7, from 1 to 6 p.m.
This joint event will allow representatives to set aside one day instead of four at a rate lower than typically paid to participate in each separate event as a way to maximize return on investment (financial and time) for each program participant.
Features organizations will be able to take advantage of (at no additional charge) include:
(1) An unlimited number of representatives who can do one-on-one 10-minute chat sessions with students; each “chat schedule” is personalized with representatives able to set their schedules (within the career fair time frame) based on their availability;
(2) Thirty-minute information sessions (with a capacity of 50 students per session if you use the Handshake platform, or you may choose to use your own WebEx or Zoom link and have no capacity limit). You select the number of sessions you’d like to host and the times for the sessions.
(3) Or a combination of 1:1 chats and information sessions!
The Wake Forest Employer Relations Team would like to thank you again for recruiting our students!
As we continually try to identify ways in which we can improve upon the services we offer to both our students and our employer partners, we are excited to announce the
2025 Financial Services & Accounting Networking Night
This event is open to organizations within the financial services and accounting industries to network with first and second-year students as part of their early talent identification strategy.
We will hold the Networking Night on Wednesday, November 13, from 6-8 p.m. in the Benson University Center.
This event will be beneficial for both students and employers as it will:
- Draw more students than any single information session will, allowing employers access to a bigger pool of prospects;
- Provide students with one dedicated evening to network with employers against a busy calendar of more evening classes being offered and other commitments;
- Eliminate the need for students to choose between competing information sessions;
- Educate students about multiple organizations and
- Offer brand building to a large student population and provide greater access to underclassmen.
Cost: $700
