After commencement of the Fall semester, this recruiting event hosts industry-related companies that come to campus to interview students for potential employment, either internships, part-time or full-time. The interviews are held in-house in Sarkeys Energy Center. Last Fall, twenty-five companies came to our campus to recruit, and the number grows larger each year.
This event provides an opportunity for employers from small to mid-size companies to interview potential summer interns, part-time, or full-time employees from universities across the U.S. Also, larger companies who formally recruit on campuses each Fall are offered an additional opportunity to meet and recruit future potential employees. Energy-related organizations and companies also have the opportunity to host exhibit booths and network with students. The Expo is also a unique opportunity for students from “non-oil patch” universities to come in contact with companies that would rarely, if ever, visit their campuses. The most recent Expo hosted 29 industry-related companies and 145 students from 25 different states representing 41 different universities.
