Fall & Spring Career Fairs
Recruiting through career fairs at the University of Northern Iowa (UNI) is an easy way to meet highly motivated and well-prepared students! UNI students excel in business, technology, education, health, and communication, making them ideal candidates for a variety of industries.

We typically offer two campuswide career fairs each year, one in the fall and spring. These fairs often receive high praise from recruiters attending for the quality of student attendees alongside the ease of the day (parking, set-up, communication).
By participating in a UNI Career Fair, your organization also has access to table in Maucker Union free of charge one time during the semester of the fair.
