SCHEDULE OF EVENTS

5:25 - 5:55: Panel Sessions with Students (You will be assigned to a group comprising 4 companies and be addressing approximately 30 students. See attached)
5:25 - 5:55: Managerial Insights Session (You will be discussing various aspects of talent development and SCM undergraduate programming. See attached)
6:00 - 7:00: Company Connect (You will be given a company-specific breakout room to engage with students that come into and out of rooms — a virtual career fair "floor". You are free to utilize that time with students in the way you deem most effective. Idea: Have a 5 minute presentation prepared that can be repeated and between each repetition you can chat and engage with students in(entering) your room. You would have gotten guidance from the Career Office on the process for setting up interviews the following day.
ZOOM PROCEDURES AND REQUIREMENTS
The event will be conducted in a virtual manner, and to do so we utilize Zoom. Furthermore, to simulate a career fair auditorium floor experience, students will be allowed to enter and leave rooms in the third segment of the event. To do so requires that we all ensure we have updated to the most recent version of Zoom (5.3.1 or later). If you need to upload Zoom itself or update to the most recent version, please see the links below:
