Why you should attend the Internship Pop-Up Fair this September 11 – no matter your year!

We’re less than two weeks away from our inaugural Internship Pop-Up Fair (all majors) at the WSU Pullman campus, and we couldn’t be more excited to kick off the fall recruiting season! September through November are prime months for companies and organizations to recruit future interns – and we’re helping you get a head start by bringing them right to you.

So be sure to mark your calendars for September 11 between 3:00pm – 6:00pm at the CUB Senior Ballroom for the event and get registered in Handshake.

Internship Pop-Up Fair offers something for everyone!

Whether you’re a first-year student just beginning to explore career paths and curious about what internships even look like, a sophomore or junior ready to land that summer internship and build hands-on experience, or a senior looking to turn internship conversations into full-time job opportunities, this fair is designed for YOU!

Networking is one of the most powerful tools in your internship search, and this event is designed to make it easy and accessible. You’ll have the chance to meet recruiters, ask questions, and make connections that could shape your future.

Career staff from colleges and departments across campus will also be there to support you – whether you need help introducing yourself to an employer, want to polish your resume, or just need a little encouragement.

Plus, we’ll have desserts! Come grab a sweet treat, stay for the internship conversations, and leave with connections.
