Employers have the opportunity to connect with Carolina students outside of traditional recruiting by getting involved in events hosted by the University Career Center. From volunteering at our Pre-Fair Resume Blitz to participating in mixers, panels, and networking events, you’ll have meaningful ways to build relationships and increase your brand presence on campus. Additionally, employers can connect directly with student organizations through Heel Life, UNC’s student involvement platform
