Career Diversity SymposiumDate: February 15, 2024 | 5-7 p.m. The Diversity Symposium is a W&M signature event that seeks to expand the understanding of both students’ and employers' views of diversity in the workplace.

The Symposium format will have a formal program including both a student/employer panel and individual table discussion topics, followed by a networking session to further engage students in discussion and introduce students to leadership programs, internships, and full-time opportunities to attendees. You may RSVP up to 2 representatives for the Symposium, with at least one representative from your company who can provide a unique DEI perspective to the students who attend this symposium and networking event. |

The fair is an excellent way for companies and organizations to meet students at the beginning of the recruiting cycle, get their brand name out on campus, speak with interested students of all class years and majors, and generate interest in internships and full-time positions. We encourage employers from all industries to attend this event. |
