UWF Meet the Firms

University of West Florida (UWF)

Date: September 21, 2023
Time: 4:30pm – 6:30pm CST
Location: Commons Auditorium (Bldg. 22)

Meet the Firms provides an opportunity for UWF students to network with professionals in their major field. Firms are invited to participate with UWF students to begin to foster continuing relationships. This event is intentionally marketed to Accounting, Finance, and Management Information Systems majors; however, students in other degree programs may attend to learn more, network, etc. Many students will be seeking full-time employment, internships, or both. However, the event is not meant to be solely a job fair; freshmen and sophomore students, who are still early in their degree programs, benefit from the interaction with industry professionals and it’s a great opportunity for your organization’s branding.

Registration Fee:

Non-Profit: $100
