The Career Fair takes place in the New Balance Student Recreation Center (Rec Center) on the Orono campus. Signs will direct you to unload at the Rec Center entrance, and park in the designated reserved employer parking as follows:

Parking in the Rec Center will fill up first. All other parking will be in the CCA and Belgrade lots. A shuttle van will be provided.

We encourage carpooling and earlier arrival to the fair. Some parking areas require some walking to the Rec Center, so we encourage making use of the employer drop-off area at the Rec Center front entrance if needed. Signs will direct you and student volunteers will assist you with your materials.

Your 6-foot table and a continental breakfast will be ready by 8:30 am, please arrive and be set up by 9:30 am. We ask that you bring identifying signage to display and descriptive materials to show or distribute to students about your open positions and which majors you are currently recruiting.

If you plan to ship any display materials to the fair, we urge you to do so by Monday before the fair, and if needed please PRE-PAY & SCHEDULE A PICK-UP with your shipping company. Pick-up should be scheduled between 2:00-2:30 pm on Wednesday following the event from the Rec Center address. Please address your shipments and pick-up to:

“Job Fair Materials COMPANY NAME”

The fair will begin at 10:00 am, when students will be admitted. A catered lunch buffet will be served between 11:30 am-1:30 pm, concurrent with the fair. The fair will conclude at 2:00pm.
