“The Department of Arts Administration is deeply committed to preparing students for success in the creative workforce,” said Professor Rachel Shane, Ph.D., Gary B. Knapp Endowed Chair of Arts Administration. “The career fair is part of that mission by creating opportunities for students to engage with arts leaders, explore career pathways and build the professional relationships that will support their future in the arts and creative industries.
“Our goal is to help students envision how their skills and passions can shape meaningful and sustainable arts careers."
Students will have the opportunity to meet and engage with leaders in the industry, gaining invaluable insights into how to develop sustainable, fulfilling careers in arts and culture after graduation.
The Arts and Culture Career Fair is part of the department’s broader commitment to workplace development and fostering lasting connections between the academic community and the professional arts world. The dress code is business attire, and participants are asked to provide printed copies of their resume as well as digital versions of work samples.
