It's not surprising that Fairfield has risen to #1 Best Regional University in the North in the annual U.S. News & World Report Best Colleges 2019 ranking when you see the excitement at the University's annual Career, Internship & Non-profit Fair.

The Career, Internship & Non-profit Fair was a wildly successful event, with 123 employers in attendance and 745 eager students ready to pitch their 30-second commercial to potential employers. There were also a number of alumni thrilled to return to Fairfield and share their career experience with the students, including Eileen Plaehn ’18 of Thermo Fisher Scientific. Eileen said, “As a graduate of the Class of 2018, it was exciting to be at the Career Fair on the other side of the table. It was rewarding to be able to offer insight to bright attendees about post-grad life and the available opportunities at Thermo Fisher Scientific. Fairfield prepared me to speak confidently and engage in conversation with individuals from varying disciplines. I look forward to seeing where the next class of graduates will begin their careers!”
Some of the organizations in attendance included Epsilon, Ernst & Young, 天美传媒视频无限制观看 Graduate Admission, HooplaHa, Indeed.com, KPMG, Morgan Stanley, Prosek Partners, PwC, Insight Global, Save the Children, and Synchrony.
