Hosting an Employer Presentation/Information Session is terrific opportunity for you to educate Columbia University students about your organization and give alumni an opportunity to come back to campus for networking with current students about potential job opportunities.

The University has completed the renovations Faculty House (our catering facility) and we will again be hosting employer information sessions here beginning in September.  Information sessions can take place Monday through Friday September 8 to December 4 during the fall semester and January 19 through March 26 in the spring semester. (please note: there are blackout dates mentioned on the recruiting calendar.) The times available for presentations Monday through Thursday are either 5:00pm to 6:30pm or 7:00pm to 8:30pm.  If you wish to come to campus during business hours we recommend Fridays midday, when there are the fewest classes. 

Fees for Employer Presentations/Information Sessions vary depending on the venue, catering and AV needs.   

Pre-Night Sessions - If you would also like to book a pre-night session for candidates the night before the interview, you may do so independently by contacting the venue. In addition to Faculty House, we recommend a number of area restaurants which can accommodate a group for dinner (a venue listing can be found at the end of this email).   Please be mindful of the NO ALCOHOL policy as part of our Policies and Procedures attached.

Advertising - You can advertise in the student newspaper, The Spectator.  Rates are available online.  Also, you may hire a student to flyer in the residence halls and academic buildings. You may have a past intern on campus or can hire a student temporarily.

Event Description for Online Calendar - We will also add your presentation to our event calendar.  Please submit an event description as soon as possible so that we may get the details to our students.  A sample is included below. Send the event description to careereducation@columbia.edu with the subject heading "Employer Name: Event Description" to facilitate the quickest and most accurate posting.

Policies and Procedures - Please be sure to review the most up-to-date policies and procedures concerning recruiting at Columbia University.
