The Center for Career Engagement will host the WashU Fall Career Expo 2026 Wed., Sept. 16 and Thurs., Sept. 17 from 3-6 p.m. at the Athletic Complex on the Danforth Campus.
“Today employers are looking for students who are career ready and that means students need to come to the table prepared to articulate very clearly what competencies they bring,” said Norma Guerra Gaier, associate vice chancellor for career development and education. “In particular, employers are looking for students who are critical thinkers who can solve problems and who are adaptable, and the Expo provides students an opportunity to share their competencies with a potential employer.”
The Expo provides students an opportunity to share their competencies with a potential employer.
