Career fairs and events

VCU hosts career fairs during the fall and spring semesters. Each fair offers students and alumni the opportunity to network with employers from a wide range of industries. More information about career fairs and participating employers can be found on Handshake.

Although professional dress is not required to attend these events, it is recommended to support your best first impression with employers.

How to register for a career and internship fair 

Register for any of our career fairs through Handshake. If you would like to discuss networking during a career fair, update your career materials, or update your professional wardrobe before attending a career fair, you can make a career advising or Suit Yourself Closet appointment through Handshake.

Rodney-Con is Poppin' in the Commons!

Stop in to the center of the Ram Universe (aka The Commons) for free clothes, hot tips, and cool pops! This Weeks of Welcome event is a chance to get to know a few go-to resources on campus: VCU Career Services, Suit Yourself Closet (SYC), and First and Second Year Experiences. So pop in to Room 143 in the Student Commons to explore the SYC (free clothing!), get tips to prepare for the Part-Time Job Fair (coming to the Commons on Sept. 3rd!), meet the staff, and enjoy a cold treat from our local King of Pops Slinger.

Suit Yourself Closet: All you need to shop is your student ID (or V# or email). You will be able to take up to 6 items to add to your workplace wardrobe. All clothing is gently used — and is yours to keep!

King of Pops limited to the first 100 students to check-in at Career Services! Pops are given on a first-come, first-served basis (one per student). Brought to you by Career Services, and First and Second Year Experiences!
