UMass Boston

Information Sessions (currently only offered online)

Due to the lack of classroom space, requested information sessions should be one hour.

Please See “Event Request Procedure” below to learn how to request an information session for your organization. Upon request, the Associate Director of Employer Partnerships will review and then approve or deny your request. Upon approval, the Associate Director will reserve a room and reach out to the employer with the date, time, and location. It is highly recommended that the employer creates a flyer to help promote the event on Handshake while inviting students and to also share the flyer with the Office of Career Services and Internships to help advertise.

Information Tables

Employers can request an information table to advertise volunteer, internship, or job opportunities. This is a great way to promote opportunities to students in a strategic and highly trafficked area on campus. Information tables can be requested for 2-3 hours on Monday-Thursday between the hours of 10am-2pm free of charge. A representative from the Office of Career Services and Internships is required to accompany your table for free sponsorship.

If you would like to request your own event outside of these hours or time limits, you will have to submit your own request using the “Event Request for Non-University Clients” online form with Career Services. You will be responsible for covering the fee of such an event. Upon completion of the form, as staff member of Event Services will contact you regarding your request.
