On-Campus Events

Firms will be permitted to conduct Information Sessions according to campus / career center policy.  Firms may hold pre-interview receptions the evening before their on-campus interview dates.  If such events are held off-campus, firms will be responsible to see that the event is alcohol free.

Offers from firms can be transmitted to the student (candidate) at any time during the recruiting period, HOWEVER, no student (candidate) will be required to respond to an offer prior to the agreed upon “Offer Expiration Date”. 

Full-time “offers” may be made by a firm to a student who has already “interned” with that firm (or a Junior involved in a summer program), and in this situation, the agreed upon “Offer Expiration Date” is: September 15, 2008.
