Interested in learning more about fair sponsorship? Attending the event as a fair sponsor gives you exclusive perks leading up to and on fair day.  If you are interested in getting more information, please email Ashley Hicks, Director of Employer Recruitment and Engagement, at ashley.hicks@northwestern.edu. 

**Policy Update: The NCA in-person career fair is only open to employers outside of Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ University due to space constraints. If you are an on-campus employer or department, you are welcome to register for our virtual career fair dates that have unlimited capacity. We'd also suggest utilizing the Student Employment website and the SummerFest event (usually hosted in January). If you have opportunities you'd like to promote to students, please email jessica.smith@northwestern.edu.

Please see below for our upcoming fair event information, and we hope to see you there!
