About the Career Fairs

Career fairs held in winter and spring quarters are major recruitment events at Western Washington University.  These fairs are terrific opportunities to identify candidates for open positions as well as interact with and educate students about future career paths within your company.  These events are advertised campus-wide and open to all WWU students and alumni.  Students value this event and will benefit greatly from your participation -- over 1,000 job seekers have been attending each fair!  We anticipate that approximately 90 employers will participate in each event.  Register early as space is limited and we always fill before the deadlines!

Location

Western Washington University
Bellingham, Washington
Viking Union Multi-Purpose Room (a room overlooking beautiful Bellingham Bay)

Amenities

Each fair is located in the Viking Union Multi-Purpose Room of the student union -- a lovely room overlooking Bellingham Bay!  At the fair we will provide signage and a 3' x 6' table.  Because of space limitations, we ask that employers use only tabletop displays rather than large backdrops.  Morning refreshments are available in a convenient hospitality room and box lunches are distributed to individual company tables.  Career Services will also make arrangements to schedule rooms for interviews following the events.

Promotion

Your company or organization will be included in our pre-event publicity and a Directory of Employers provided to students attending the fair.  You will also have an opportunity to place an ad in the career fair section of the Western Front student newspaper.  To further promote your company, we suggest you donate something for a door prize!

Parking

Upon confirmation of attendance (approximately three weeks prior to the event), the Career Services Center will send you an on-campus parking permit and map identifying your parking location.  University vans are available to transport cargo and passengers to the event location.

Lodging

For information about lodging (and about Bellingham) visit www.bellingham.org.

Event Confirmation

Confirmation packets will be sent approximately three weeks prior to the event (payment needs to be received prior to confirmation).

The Career Services Center may need to be selective when determining which employers are represented at special events such as career fairs.  Decisions will be made in a fair and equitable manner after considering factors such as space availability, student interest in employer/industry, industry balance and employer position within its industry.
