Student Interviews:
- Interviews for the week of Career Fair, “Next Day” interviews: We are offering services in-person.

- Next Day Interviews (in-person)-Employers will still be responsible for scheduling interview times with students between the hours of 8am-5pm (MST). We think this will be a great option!
