Our 310-acre campus is home to nearly 4,000 students who come from most states in the nation and more than 40 countries around the globe. They pursue majors in more than 70 fields of study in five colleges.
Founded in 1859, Valparaiso belongs to a small and distinctive group of higher education institutions that consistently receives recognition for the quality of their educational programs. U.S. News & World Report regularly names Valparaiso as one of the best comprehensive universities in the Midwest in its annual rankings of “ America’s Best Colleges.” The Templeton Foundation calls Valpo a “College that Encourages Character Development,” and Valpo has consistently appeared in The Best 361 Colleges.
The Career Center offers a variety of services and events for employers seeking talented Valpo candidates.
Experience eRecruiting, an online database, allows employers to search for students by class, major, GPA, and other selected criteria. Employers may also contact students directly to explore their qualifications and suitability for available positions.
Experience also allows employers to post available internships, part-time, and full-time positions, as well as to collect resumes, cover letters, and other specified materials electronically. In addition, our Job Opportunities Bulletin (JOB) gives employers opportunities to post available positions both electronically and in hard copy.
Increase on-campus visibility by presenting to student organizations, hosting information sessions, or doing video interviews.
On-campus recruiting takes place in October and November, and January through April. Employers post job descriptions and desired qualifications on Experience, then students with suitable qualifications sign up for interviews and submit their resumes online. Employers are able to view the resumes, select students to interview, and schedule interviews electronically.
This highly visible event offers excellent opportunities for employers to connect with Valpo students on a one-to-one basis and establish a strong presence on campus. Held annually in September, the Career Fair is open to employers, non-profits, government agencies, and graduate schools. All Valpo undergraduates are invited to attend.
On February 1, 2008, the Indiana Crusader Connection will host an Indiana Internship and Career Fair for Indiana employers. Consider joining us for this important event.
