Information Booths
Creating positive brand recognition for your company or graduate school is important when recruiting students. We welcome you to visit campus during the academic year to meet with students and to share your programs and opportunities.
Career Development will host you at a table set up just outside the entrance to the cafeteria, so you can catch students on their way to or from lunch. We’ll also treat you to the yummy food there!
To schedule an information table on campus, please contact Jill Warfield or call the office at 859-233-8193. While you are welcome to come any time, we recommend Tuesdays and Thursdays from 11:30 a.m.–1:30 p.m., which are our highest traffic times in the Raf.
Career Fairs
We know our students and alumni look great on paper when they apply for jobs and grad schools, but meeting them in person is how you get to see them shine!
Spotlight Career Fair
This annual consortium fair of the 21 schools of the Association for Independent Kentucky Colleges and Universities (AIKCU) and Hanover College in Indiana is an opportunity to explore jobs, internships and grad schools. The event typically takes place in late February or early March in Lexington, Ky., frequently the day before or after the career fair held by Eastern Kentucky University. This gives you the chance to see hundreds of students over a couple of days.
Law School Fairs
Transylvania University holds a law school fair annually on the first Wednesday in October. this event is part of central Kentucky Law School Fair week. Other colleges in the area hosting law school fairs include Centre, Eastern Kentucky, Georgetown and the University of Kentucky.
