Many organizations have publications that help increase student knowledge of their organization, its mission, and the impact it has on the local, regional, or global community. We encourage all organizations to provide any materials that will enhance your ability to recruit NYUAD students, including handouts outlining your opportunities. If you choose to bring banners, please consider the table size and space around the table cited above.
Roles to Recruit
The fair is intended for organizations actively recruiting volunteers, interns, part-time, or full-time employees. The fall fair will be more strategic for organizations planning to hire between September and January, while the spring fair will be more strategic for those organizations planning to hire in the spring or summer.
Student Attendance
