Undergraduate Cultural Event Showcases Asian, Hispanic Students for Hire

Event: Scoring Careers minority recruiting fair.

When: Jan. 31, 6-9 p.m.

Where: San Jacinto Multipurpose Room, 207C. Map can be found at http://www.utexas.edu/maps/main/buildings/sjh.html.

Background: As Corporate America seeks more diversity in their hires, students at the McCombs School are responding. Putting a spin on the typical career fair, the Asian Business Students Association and the Hispanic Business Students Association will co-host the second annual Scoring Careers minority recruiting fair Monday, Jan. 31. The fair will feature recruiters from more than 30 well-known companies, including the Big Four accounting firms, Foley’s, Goldman Sachs, Enterprise and Deloitte.

With a focus on diversity in the workplace, the event offers students an opportunity to network with several well-known companies in a casual, no-ties-allowed atmosphere.

In a blend of cultural appreciation and professionalism, more than 30 company representatives will join students for Asian and Mexican hors d’oeuvres, cultural games and performances and hourly raffle prizes. Many of the same recruiters will be present at the Intern Expo the following Wednesday, allowing McCombs undergraduates who attend Scoring Careers to get additional exposure.

All students are welcome to attend the event. Resumes will be accepted at the door for inclusion in a comprehensive resume CD that all attending companies will receive at the end of the night.
