Student registration for the Spring Statistics and Mathematics Career Forum is now open. This is a career fair specifically for Statistics, Statistics & CS, Mathematics, and Mathematics & CS students.
Invitations were just sent to students based on their majors in Handshake. If your Handshake Notification settings are set to send emails, you should have received a registration email for the event. If not, I think it should show up through the Notifications menu item in Handshake.
If you are one of the listed majors and did not receive an invitation in Handshake, please log into Handshake (https://handshake.illinois.edu) and check that your major is showing correctly there and see the Career Center to get it updated if it is not correct.
When registering, be sure to register for the Morning, Afternoon, and Full Day sessions so that employers for each session can see that you are registered. Employers are still registering, so more should be added in the coming weeks.
Here’s what you need to know:

What can you be doing now?
