On-Campus Recruiting

If you would like to set up an on-campus visit for a employer information session or an on-campus interview day, please let us know, and we will follow up with you regarding arrangements. Employers typically schedule a resume deadline by posting their opportunity with us approximately one month prior to an on-campus interview date. This allows you to pre-select the students you wish to interview. Directions to Vassar and train schedules may help in planning your on-campus visit. There are no fees to recruit at Vassar College for on-campus interviewing and for the setting up of information sessions.
