Connections Fair Student Information

The Fenn Co-op Program wants to help you find a co-op, internship, or after graduation job. One way we help students accomplish this is our twice a year Annual Washkewicz College of Engineering Connections Fair. The Connections Fair provides an opportunity for employers to consider CSU Students for co-ops, internships, and permanent work opportunities! These are typically the largest career fairs that are held on CSU's campus.
