Employers in Residence
Looking to meet employers in a relaxed setting? The Employer in Residence program brings organizations to the Student Lounge in the Bank of America Career Services Center for casual “coffee chats.” This is your chance to engage with employers outside of a formal recruiting event. Plus, each session is promoted to students with relevant interests, ensuring meaningful connections. Come for the coffee, stay for the conversation!
Stop by from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. to ask questions, learn about career opportunities, and network—no suits or résumés required.
