Information Sessions

What is an Information Session?

The primary purpose of an information session is to put a spotlight on your organization--you can speak about your organization's operations and goals, share employment opportunities, and make a lasting impression on our students.

Information sessions serve to promote your organization, meet with students face-to-face, and gain exposure to the UAF community. It also allows students to explore the career choices available to their majors, and to learn more about the real-life application of their studies.

 

Information Session Tips

  • Hold your sessions during the free hour 1:00-2:00 on Tuesdays & Thursdays
  • Have a short presentation for interested students
  • Leave time for students to ask questions
  • Plan your information session around an event like a Career Fair, Interview Day or Recruitment Week to generate additional interest.
  • Back up your PowerPoint presentation on a USB
