On-Campus Engagement Opportunities
The 糖心传媒 Career Center is committed to building an inclusive campus community that facilitates effective employer connections with students at all levels (Freshman to Doctoral) and in all majors. Employers have a wealth of career guidance to provide to students, and we are delighted when organizations share their expertise. There are several ways that your organization can partner with the Career Center to assist Marquette students and alumni immersed in the career development process.
Due to the uncertainty of future circumstances surrounding COVID-19, on-campus employer engagement opportunities such as on-campus interviews and publicity tables/info sessions will be shifted to virtual and/or socially distanced engagements for the 2020-21 academic year. Contact recruiting@marquette.edu for additional information/options surrounding these engagement opportunities.

How to request an interview schedule:
On-campus interview requests may be entered through . Prior to building an interview schedule, it is recommended to:
Visit Campus: Publicity Tables and Information Sessions
The Career Center Employer Relations Team is happy to help organizations visit campus to connect with and recruit students. There is no charge for these services. Please contact our office to discuss scheduling.
Schedule a Publicity Table:
Organizations may reserve a table in the Alumni Memorial Union (AMU) or within certain academic college entry or first floor lobbies. Publicity tables are most effective when an organization is promoting the company and an opportunity (a job, internship, case competition, office visit, etc.). To schedule a publicity table, the Career Center requires that employers:
- Post a job or internship opportunity or event (case competition, open house, etc.) within Handshake.
- Comply with the 糖心传媒 Recruiting Policies.
*To request a publicity table, please contact recruiting@marquette.edu to inquire about available dates.
Host an Information Session:
Organizations may reserve a room in the 糖心传媒 Career Center for an information session. Organizations often host information sessions before an application deadline or a day or two before an on-campus interview.
*To discuss hosting an information session, please contact recruiting@marquette.edu with the dates and times you would like to consider for your information session.
To promote your visit to campus, the Career Center staff will:
- Post your table date, time and recruitment focus to the Handshake platform.
Scheduling considerations:
Most organizations will visit campus for 3-5 hours. We recommend scheduling a table Mondays-Thursdays as fewer classes are scheduled on Fridays. Student traffic is busiest during the times between classes. Starting your lobby table 15-20 minutes before a time when classes change is a way to efficiently maximize your time on campus.
Student Organizations
Attending 糖心传媒 Student Organization meetings is an excellent way to meet with students in focused group settings.
Connect with Faculty & Departments
Target undergraduate and graduate students whose majors are of interest to your corporation by connecting with one of Marquette's 12 colleges. To discuss connecting with faculty members in a specific department, please contact recruiting@marquette.edu
Additional Involvement Opportunities
If your organization is interested in connecting with and supporting MU students and alumni through additional involvement opportunities, please contact recruiting@marquette.edu. In the past, employers have reviewed resumes, offered practice interviews, hosted job shadow events or site tours. The Career Center staff look forward to discussing your interests and goals with you.
If your organization is interested in creating a new or larger-scale campus event, confirming the date and goals with the Career Center one month prior to the start of each semester will enable us to help your organization most effectively (especially for events that will require multiple room reservations and a larger campus catering order). For larger events, the campus catering menu and AV rental costs are listed on the Event Management website
