Recruitment Wednesday allows you to educate students about your organization in person on campus with representatives from your company. The opportunity is a 2-hour tabling event and is offered over lunchtime in the Cohen Center Student Union.  It is a great way to build your brand on campus and engage with students as they pass by in a high traffic area.
