Coffee Chats
We all know that some of the best connections are made during the “coffee breaks” at a meeting. So why not add this to your campus activities? Please contact kristen.shaw@duke.edu for more information about scheduling a coffee chat with a student organization or group.
TechConnect and Career Fairs
TechConnect
TechConnect, Duke’s engineering and tech networking fair, is hosted by Duke's Pratt School of Engineering and the Department of Computer Science, with support from the Career Center. The event connects students and employers, many of whom are Duke alumni, for networking and education in a dynamic virtual networking environment on the Handshake event platform.
NOTE for fall 2022: If public health guidance allows, we hope to offer some on-campus and in-person networking opportunities in fall 2022.
Duke Career Fair
Duke University's annual Career Fair attracts companies across all industries including, but not limited to: business, technology, engineering, education, and government. The Career Fair provides a great opportunity for employers, students, and Career Center staff to meet and discuss your organization, career opportunities, and effective recruiting strategies. By participating in the fair, your organization will gain exposure to graduate and undergraduate students across all majors.
Senior Capstone Design & Competitions
Senior projects focus on the synthesis and application of the basic science, mathematics, engineering and design skills taught in earlier courses. Called ‘Capstone’ courses, these culminating design classes give students a rigorously challenging, real-world, immersive engineering experience. If your organization is interested in running a competition (coding, product, design,) please contact our office for more information on how to sponsor one of these exciting courses or host a competition!
