Information Sessions
What is an Information Session?
The primary purpose of an information session is to put a spotlight on your organization--you can speak about your organization's operations and goals, share employment opportunities, and make a lasting impression on our students.
Information sessions serve to promote your organization, meet with students face-to-face, and gain exposure to the UAF community. It also allows students to explore the career choices available to their majors, and to learn more about the real-life application of their studies.
Information Session Tips
- Hold your sessions during the free hour 1:00-2:00 on Tuesdays & Thursdays
- Have a short presentation for interested students
- Leave time for students to ask questions
- Plan your information session around an event like a Career Fair, Interview Day or Recruitment Week to generate additional interest.
- Back up your PowerPoint presentation on a USB
