Host Information Sessions

CUSTOMIZE YOUR SESSION

Information sessions can be designed to best engage students according to your needs and wants! Host a panel, a presentation or an event in a classroom.

All information sessions events will be created by employers and marketed virtually through Handshake.

Company events or information sessions help increase your company’s visibility while informing students about workplace culture and career opportunities. You can design your information session to best engage students according to your needs and recruiting priorities!


Virtual sessions are free. A basic on-campus session starts at $250 for up to two hours. Consider adding an additional marketing package ($100) for the Internship and Career Center’s assistance with targeted outreach to student groups and campus partners, social media posting, digital flier, and addition of the event on the ICC’s lobby display.


Information sessions, whether virtual or in-person, can be requested on Handshake. If you are interested in a longer or customized event, please contact careerrecruiting@ucdavis.edu. Please note that during career fair weeks, we can only accommodate information sessions for companies attending the fair.

Tips for a successful information session:

  • Hold it earlier in the academic quarter
  • Create a catchy title
    • This will catch student attention first
    • Avoid acronyms in the title, unless well known
  • Include information in the event description about the type of roles you will be hiring:
    • Internships and/or full-time position
    • Target majors
    • Target years/graduation dates
  • Consider providing food/refreshments and include this information in the description
