Last Thursday was all about making connections at Elon’s Fall Job & Internship Fair!

Students had the opportunity to meet with employers, learn about internship and full-time opportunities, explore different industries and practice the professional skills they’ve been building throughout their time at Elon.

We’re incredibly thankful to the employers who joined us and dedicated their time to connecting with our students, answering questions and sharing insight into their organizations and career opportunities.

We’re equally proud of the 400+ students who attended and took advantage of the opportunity to build their networks and take another step toward their professional goals.

Thank you to everyone who helped make the Fall Job & Internship Fair a success! Take a look at some of the highlights from the day. 🎥

Meet a few of the students we visited:
