On Thursday, Aug. 22, the UC Alumni Engagement team is hosting the sixth annual HireUC Alumni Career Fair at the Riverside Convention Center. It’s the first time this popular event has taken place in the Inland Empire, and more than 1,500 UC alumni, 38 employers and 20 panelists and speakers are scheduled to attend!

The career fair is a free opportunity for early- and mid-career UC alumni to connect with employers from diverse fields and industries. Programming resembles a professional conference, including keynote speakers, breakfast with employers, and targeted workshops for first-gen, veteran and BIPOC alumni. An event highlight will be the first all-UC networking mixer for Southern California alumni.
