On-campus Interviews
To make it easy for you to meet potential employees, we host on-campus Interview events twice a year—once in September or October, and once in January or February. To participate, we ask employers to post jobs that our students can apply to; then we schedule time for employers to interview applicants of interest. We are currently accepting reservations for on-campus interviews. To secure your spot, please complete our on-campus interview form.
If you are unavailable for these events but would still like to interview our students, we will work with you to meet your hiring needs with an alternate method, such as interviews held virtually. For more information, please contact Mandy Whiddon, Assistant Dean for Career Development, via email, or call her at 402.280.3096.
Additional Events
We offer other ways for you to connect with students beyond our on-campus interview events. You can get to know our students by sponsoring an “Opportunity Knocks” reception prior to interviews. Or if you represent a nonprofit or government entity, you can participate in a career fair to provide information about your organization to students. We also welcome employers to present information on specific topics (e.g., rural law firms). For more information, please contact Mary McMullen.

Resume Collection and Job Posting
We have two additional ways for you to connect with our students as potential employees. Through our resume collection program, we can gather relevant resumes and send them to you. Simply complete the resume collection form to begin receiving the resumes of our remarkable students. You can also post jobs you think would be ideal for our students and alumni—free of charge—with Symplicity our job-posting system. Symplicity allows you to not only post jobs on your own, but also indicate if you’d like to do campus interviews for the jobs you post.
