Employer FAQs

If the Career Fair is a two-day fair, neither day is geared toward specific industries or majors. All UWRF students and alumni are invited to attend.The Career Services Office does our best to communicate information to all majors via targeted email marketing, print collateral, social media content, and more. In addition, we highly value our faculty and staff partnerships. Many faculty and staff accross campus share information about the fair in their courses. 

Booth placement is determined by the career fair coordinator, and is based on several factors:

• Sponsors receive guaranteed prominent placement - check out our sponsorship opportunities here! 
• Further placement near sponsor booths is based on a first come first serve basis
• Organizations who register later, or those which have moved from the waiting list to securing a booth, have less priority than those who registered earlier 

If you have a large display that you will be bringing to the Career Fair, the Career Services Office recommends you ship it.

If you choose to ship your display, please send it to:

Career Fair Coordinator
716 Wild Rose Ave.

*Please notify Career Services at 715-425-3572 or career.services@uwrf.edu on the day of shipment of your materials*

If your representative can no longer attend the Career and Internship Fair, we encourage you to find a replacement. However, we know that is not always possible. 

If you have paid to participate in the UWRF Fall 2022 Career and Internship Fair and your organization is unable to attend, a full refund is possible before Wednesday, September 28, 2022. No refunds will be issued after this date.

The Career Services Office does have a no show policy which is as follows: If an employer registers for the event and does not show up the day(s) of the event, the employer will be charged 100% of the registration fee(s). If the employer has paid for the event, no refund will be given. If the employer has not paid for the event, the employer will be billed.
