The staff at the University Career Center is dedicated to helping organizations recruit qualified undergraduate students, graduate students and alumni for full-time, part-time, internship and externship opportunities. In an effort to do so, we want to assist you in enhancing your presence on our campus so that you have a truly successful recruiting experience.

To create a stronger presence on campus that will set your organization apart from your competitors, as well as foster better relationships with students, faculty, and administrators, we recommend that you advertise directly to students, attend campus events and career fairs, connect with student organizations and meet with faculty or our staff one-on-one to develop a customized recruiting plan.

There are a number of ways you may enhance your presence on campus and connect with students. Through our many programs, events, and student organizations, the University of Maryland offers abundant opportunities for businesses to share their knowledge and, in the process, generate awareness for their organizations. Examples of such opportunities are:

Publicity		Connect with Student Organizations
Events/Fairs		Meet with Faculty or University Career Center Staff

Publicity
Advertise in Student Publications

Attract students to your positions or announce an upcoming campus visit in newspapers that are widely read by students.

Place your advertisement 3 to 7 days prior to your application deadline.

Include the following information in your advertisement:

1. The date you are interviewing on-campus or attending a career fair.


2. Specific information about the position(s) you are seeking to fill.


3. Refer students to Careers4Terps to register so they are able to participate.

Publications
The Diamondback is the daily campus newspaper with a circulation of over 19,000 papers and is available in print and online. It is read by many students and is a great resource for employers to enhance their campus presence. For more information contact the Diamondback at 301.314.8000.

Other campus newspapers include The Eclipse, 301.314.8357; The Black Explosion, 301.314.7761; Asian Voice, 301.314.8327; and Mitzpeh, 301.314.8351. The frequency of these publications ranges from bi-weekly to monthly.

The paper Schedule of Classes is released twice each semester and includes ads— another great way for employers to enhance visibility to students. For more information contact the Office of the Registrar at 301.314.8240 or e-mail registrar@umd.edu.

Connect with Student Organizations
Choosing student organizations directly related to your organization may assist you in enhancing your organizations presence, as well as making important student contacts, and also alumni, some of whom are still involved.

Making a presentation to individual student organizations or by mailing company information to leaders of student organizations are two great ways to meet your goals. We can help you determine the most appropriate organizations to fit your needs. Contact us for further information or contact the student organizations.

Meet with Faculty or Staff
Some organizations find that a lunch meeting with a faculty representative and/or a University Career Center staff member is beneficial during the on-campus interviewing visit. We can assist you in identifying the appropriate individuals that will meet your needs.

Contact us with your request at least three weeks prior to your visit so we can invite faculty/staff to be your lunch guests.

Our staff will do its best to accommodate your request, but there may be times when individuals will not be available for lunch during your recruiting visit.
