Remember:

Targeting Information Sessions towards honor society student groups helps you narrow down

your audience to the “Top Students”

Page 17: University Recruiting Essentials: How to Make Your Brand Memorable with On-Campus Events

-According to the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) Recruiting Survey - Relationships with Faculty is the most effective way to brand your campus program

You Need to Educate Students on Your Industry!

Page 19: University Recruiting Essentials: How to Make Your Brand Memorable with On-Campus Events

-Students don’t always understand what opportunities could be available at the company - even with a strong consumer brand

-Ex: AT&T: Working for AT&T does not mean one will make or sell phones every day - There are different departments with different functions which students need to be aware of

-Finance, IT, Marketing, Management, Sales and many others are all departments students could start work in
