Information Sessions

To promote your company, your job openings or your internships, you might want to consider doing a company information session. We recommend late afternoon or early evening, and the promise of pizza will usually boost attendance. Here are some tips for setting up your session:

room scheduling

  1. To schedule an information session, login into your GauchoLink account and click on events OR, under QuickLinks, select New Information Session Request.

  2. Fill out all the required details regarding your event. Please include information regarding what the information session will cover, the types of students who should attend (major, grade level, etc.), and positions recruiting for.

  3. Once we receive your request, Career Services staff will review it and assign your information session to a location (either the University Center or the College of Engineering).

  4. Once your event is approved, you will receive an email confirmation describing the details of your event.

If your information session will be held at the College of Engineering (COE), you will be contacted by a COE staff member to finalize your visit.

If your information session will be held at the University Center (UCen), a UCen staff member with be contacting you to finalize your visit. They will be sending you an invoice requesting payment. Only checks are accepted. For more information contact the University Center (UCen) at (805) 893-3961. The UCen rents rooms of various sizes, but tends to book quickly, so schedule early if possible.
