Diversity Networking and Job Fair

Join us at Metro State's biggest on-campus event of the year, the Diversity Networking and Job Fair, designed exclusively for current students and alumni. In response to feedback from last year’s participants, this year’s event will take place in the Jason R. Carter Science Education Center. The fair will feature a list of companies and organizations eager to connect with students and alumni about career opportunities that match your interests.

Registration Fee
There are no registration fees for current Metro State students or alumni; however, participation in the event is limited to these groups. Registration is through Handshake.

Attending your First In-Person Networking Event?
Start by preparing your elevator pitch. This is a short, confident introduction that shares who you are, what you are studying or pursuing, and what you are looking for. A helpful video for students and new professionals is How to Make an Elevator Pitch, which provides clear and practical tips in just a few minutes.

Next, review your résumé. You can use the Career Center’s résumé resources on the Resume and Cover letter website for resume best practices and samples. For feedback, attend Résumé Drop-In every Wednesday from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Zoom or schedule an appointment.

Remember, this is your opportunity to make a great first impression, learn about career pathways, and build meaningful connections—no prior experience required! Bring printed copies of your résumé, a few thoughtful questions, and your authentic self.

Recommended Attire
To ensure everyone feels comfortable and presents themselves professionally, we recommend business casual attire. Dress as you would for an interview, choosing professional attire to make a strong first impression. Avoid jeans, hoodies, and t-shirts.
