The Career Center advertises hundreds of events each academic year, and we know it's hard to narrow it down. Here's a list of ten events that will appeal to most Tufts students.
1. Tufts Career Fair: Weds, February 10, 11:30 am-2:30 pm, Gantcher
More than 160 organizations are registered! The Tufts Career Fair Plus mobile app on both android and apple is a quick and easy way to identify full time positions and internships.

2. Prepare for the Fair: Thurs, February 4, 6:30 pm, Dowling 745A
