Sponsoring On-Campus Events
Throughout the school year, employers will be
recruiting students at WWU. To gain attention, and maybe favor, it is advisable
that employers consider whether they have “name recognition” with students. Ask
yourself, “Do students associate our company as a desirable place to work? Do
students remember our company name and seek us out?”
Employers successful in recruiting top candidates
know it’s important to have good name recognition with students. These
employers may sponsor events, speak to student clubs, host information sessions
(with free food J) or participate in a
number of opportunities available to you on campus.
The Career Services Center (CSC) at WWU organizes
many events on campus that need employer sponsorship. Some events are
advertised to all students on campus, while others may focus on specific
student interest groups. Financial support of these events not only helps us
but also improves your name recognition on campus through event publicity and
materials distributed to participants.
Some of the events where your name could be
publicized are described below. Many other opportunities exist and interested
employers should contact Effie Eisses at:
effie.eisses@wwu.edu or by phone
at: 360.650.3203.
