Note: You may not see an employer that you want to work for, but we strongly encourage your attendance nonetheless to advocate for your student organization and to practice networking.

• This is a networking event, therefore employers will be moving around the room chatting with student organizations.
• You will have a designated high-top table. 
• Each student organization will introduce themselves at the start of the program, each employer will introduce themselves, and then the networking will begin. 
• Event organizers will periodically prompt employers to move around to speak with different organizations. 
• There will be coffee and donuts! 

• Dive deeper into what makes certain employers stand out and what resources are available to you. Ask employers pointed questions about Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB). 
• For employers to learn about DU’s identity-based student organizations, including how companies can further support your orgs. 
• Share mission/vision/goals of your organization with employers to help them understand your organization’s needs. 
• Form relationships with employers and discuss sponsorship or other engagement opportunities. 
• While not the main focus, you’ll also be able to connect with potential employers for internship or full-time opportunities. 

Employers will be encouraged to ask student organizations questions, and vice versa. Please feel free to use these questions below as a starting point, and also generate some of your own questions. Think about what will help you get to know the employer better.

• What DEI initiatives is your organization working on?
• What resources are there at your company that promote inclusion and belonging?
• What employee resource groups (ERGs) are available at your organization?
• What are the benefits your organization offers that set you apart from others (example: medical/mental health coverage, EAP offerings, etc.)?
• What are the professional growth opportunities at your organization? Where do people go on to work?
• How might your organization support student organizations with sponsorship opportunities, coming to club meetings, networking, etc.?

• Be prepared to talk about your organization: how many students participate in your organization, what the executive board looks like, what events you have coming up, what initiatives you’re seeking support for, your organization’s mission/goals, etc.  
• Research at least a few employers ahead of time. 
• Look up employers on LinkedIn to see if there are any DU alumni who work there.
