Your chance to connect with 1,300+ skilled, prepared, and eager students

Spring 2021 Virtual Career Fair

Thursday, February 18, 2021
11 a.m.–4 p.m.

Each semester, the Luddy School of Informatics, Computing, and Engineering hosts a career fair for students to engage with leading technology organizations, investigate career possibilities, and discover the skills and qualifications needed to become a competitive candidate in the future. While most attendees are undergraduate and graduate students majoring in Informatics, Computer Science, Intelligent Systems Engineering, Data Science, Information Science, or Library Science, any Indiana University student whose coursework, skills, and interests make them a good fit for a career in technology is welcome to attend. In addition to Luddy students, students from the School of Informatics and Computing at Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) will also be in attendance.

The Luddy Spring 2021 Career Fair will be conducted virtually for the safety and success of all employers, students, and staff. In an effort to provide a consistent experience across campus and the university, this fair will be hosted within Handshake as our fair platform.

Registration types & pricing

We understand that this recruiting year continues to be considerably different than prior seasons and we recognize that some teams are operating with a reduced recruiting budget. Luddy Career Services has decided to decrease the cost of our career fairs this year because, put simply, it feels like the right thing to do.

After a career fair registration is received and reviewed by Luddy Career Services, payment must be submitted in Indiana University's external payment system. You can pay by credit card, check (select "I will pay later"), or departmental transfer. After payment is received, your career fair registration will be confirmed. Please note that per university policy, no payment will be submitted through Handshake.
