Both tabling events and information sessions help to build brand awareness on-campus with students. Tabling sessions are conducted in high-traffic areas like student lounges and generate direct conversations with students, while information sessions are in a more formal setting, such as a presentation or networking and Q&A event, where your organization can inform students about company programs, opportunities, and workplace culture.

There are no cost or fees for hosting a tabling event or an information session.

Employers can request a tabling event at least 1-2 weeks in advance and/or information sessions at least 3-4 weeks in advance on Handshake. To request an event, please follow the steps outlined here:

Create an Event on Handshake

Once you create the event, please email Brittany Perez, Employer Relations Specialist | Equity & Inclusion, for further instructions.

Tabling events are held in-person at the Rose Hill Campus or at the Lincoln Center Campus. Information sessions can be in-person at Rose Hill Campus or Lincoln Center Campus, virtual, or hybrid.

For both types of events, employers may bring printed informational materials like pamphlets or flyers, promotional products, food, and related items.

Tabling events are typically held for two to three hours. Information sessions are usually 30 minutes to one hour in length.

Yes, you can create your own marketing materials for both events. The Career Center team will also create flyers with QR codes for your event.

The Career Center team will promote your event through our newsletters, email blasts, physical flyers, social media, and web presence. Career Counselors will also refer students to your event in counseling appointments.

The Career Center team will provide optimal dates and times for your targeted students for each event. You would need to provide the following for information sessions:

• Date, time, and campus

• Target audience (ie. Majors, school years, clubs, etc.) 

• Resources and room layout (ie laptop, click, HDMI/VGA Cable, Projector Screen, other, banquet/lecture,etc.)
