The Center for Career Engagement will host the WashU Spring Career Expo 2026 Tues., Feb. 10 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.

“WashU students are engaging, intellectually curious, and they tend to hit the ground running once they join us,” said Matt Holton, senior vice president at Mastercard and WashU alumnus. “Anecdotally, I can say they do very well at Mastercard, and some of our top leaders are WashU alumni.”
