Grab a bite to eat and learn how to create your 60-second elevator pitch and to ask power questions that will help you instantly connect with top hiring managers, recruiters and others! Learn to speed-network with companies such as Acxiom, AgHeritage Farm Credit Services, ArcBest, Bernhard, Cintas, Colgate-Palmolive, Enterprise Holdings, Equitable Advisors, General Mills, Murphy USA, Saatchi & Saatchi X, Siloam Springs School District, Target, Teach for America, USDA-NRCS, Waffle House, Walmart Corporate, Wayne-Sanderson Farms and Wellpath, who are seeking to connect with diverse students!

This means you get to engage with several companies in a short amount of time. Each student is encouraged to collect at least six stamps in their passport by the end of the event. Those who do so can then be entered in a drawing to win door prizes that will be given away at the end of the event.
Business casual attire and registration are required to attend. Seats are limited. Only 70 spots remain! Register today!
