Spring 2020 Career Fairs
Over the next month, students and alumni from your college will have the opportunity to connect with 250 employers and 10 graduate programs at this year’s STEM Fair (January 31) and Spring Career & Internship Fair (February 14). These major career fairs feature thousands of jobs and internships/co-ops for undergraduate and graduate students from across the University. Fortune 100 companies, nonprofit organizations, government agencies, major University partners, and growing businesses will be in attendance.
Both career fairs continue to grow, and we see this as a testament to the work you’re doing to prepare capable and career-ready citizens.
Make sure there’s great representation from your students at these important University events – click here to access downloadable materials to share with faculty and students.

Personally Speaking: A New Look at Old Shakespeare
Join English Professor Jennifer Munroe at Personally Speaking on Tuesday, Feb. 4, to learn how we to better understand the world of William Shakespeare’s plays and the relationships among men, women, animals, and plants that we see in them.
Her book Shakespeare and Ecofeminist Theory looks at both representations of “environment” that might provide insight into these relationships in early modern English history — especially those related to gender identity, and at how people’s understanding of their relationship to “environment” 400 years ago might help us redress our own environmental crises today.
Munroe will lead a conversation about her book at UNC Charlotte Center City (320 E. 9th St., Charlotte 28202). Doors will open at 6 p.m. for a reception, and the program will begin at 7 p.m. A dessert reception and book-signing will follow the author’s presentation
The event is open to the public without charge, but registration is required. Information about parking will be emailed to registrants a few days prior to the event.
