Each year, 250-350 employers send representatives to campus for student interviews. These interviews take place at the Smith Career Center during 8-10 weeks of the fall semester, and 7-9 weeks of the spring semester. These interviews are for post-graduation jobs, internships and co-ops that students can apply for. Students need to apply for each job of interest 2-3 weeks prior to the interview date.
