Opportunities Fairs

Opportunities Fair from above

Attending the Beyond Barnard Opportunities Fair is an excellent way for organizations to gain visibility on campus and maximize recruiting potential at Barnard College. We offer a range of options for employers to be involved as participants, supporters, and flagship sponsors. Please email us at beyondbarnard@barnard.edu to ask questions.

The fair affords students the opportunity to gather information about career options within many organizations and across industries as well as seek out internship and full-time employment opportunities.

Event Schedule:

Welcome Breakfast: 9:30 - 10:30 am:

The theme of the Spring 2021 Virtual Opportunities Fair is First-Generation, Low-Income Students. Join us for a keynote talk delivered by Beyond Barnard's Associate Director and Equity Lead Lindsay Granger-Weaver, EdD. This important constituency is growing — not only at Barnard, but across higher education — and it's crucial that organizations understand the specific needs and attributes of students who are the first in their family to go to college and/or who come from low-income backgrounds.

Opportunities Fair: 11:00 am - 3:00 pm:

Promote opportunities at your organization to more than 500 students from Barnard College and Columbia University undergraduate programs. Premium-level supporters (see below) will have reserved access to additional space for on-campus conversations with candidates.
