The room buzzed with opportunities and excitement for students, recruiters and business leaders during the UConn School of Business Graduate Career Fair.

The Oct. 23 event welcomed 50 recruiters and business leaders from 21 companies, including Cigna, Target, Prudential, CVS Health, Northwestern Mutual, UTC and Eversource.

Students actively engaged in lively discussions and productive networking with company representatives during the second annual event hosted by the School of Business Graduate Career Development Office.

Almost 500 students attended the Career Fair at the Marriott in Downtown Hartford. Positive feedback was given from students and corporate partners.

Students were prepared to talk about internships and fulltime opportunities. One company even scheduled a follow-up interview for the next day!
