Set-Up: Representatives may arrive any time after 8:00 a.m. for set-up. Assistance will be available for unloading materials. Recruiters are responsible for unpacking and setting up of their own displays/materials, as well as repacking and shipping after the fair.

Booth Size: Your space at the job and internship fair allows room for a floor display to be placed behind your 8' table.

Table & Layout: The 8' table includes a white tablecloth with two chairs. Organizations will be arranged in alphabetical order.

Banners: These cannot be hung on the walls, so please bring appropriate supplies, such as heavy tape to hang your banner on the table.

Electrical Outlets: Unfortunately, we are unable to provide electrical outlets for your use at the fair. We encourage you to bring displays that do not require electricity or video hookup.

Audio Displays: We prefer that you not bring audio displays due to the noise level of the fair and the comfort of neighboring companies.

Wireless Internet Access: The Perry Field House is equipped with wireless internet access. Please contact your IT department to make sure all firewalls and security software allow accessibility.  See a Career Center staff member at the Fair to request a username and password.
