Special Recruiting Events and Initiatives in Spring 2011

January 18, 2011

Today's job market operates on a just-in-time basis more than ever before, so traditional fall recruiting has evolved into a year-round schedule of events and programs to connect employers and students. In the coming months, Fuqua's Career Management Center (CMC) will sponsor or co-sponsor these spring recruiting events for hiring organizations seeking talented Duke MBA and MMS students. Each activity attracts an interesting variety of companies and organizations, often in industries that do not traditionally recruit MBAs, and therefore supports employers and students in unique ways.
