Consortia Events

Consortia events are off-campus interview days organized by Wesleyan University's Career Resource center in conjunction with the Career Centers at several peer institutions.  These interview days provide students with the opportunity to apply for several jobs with the possibility of being selected for several interviews in one day and in one place.  Wesleyan University belongs to consortia which hold events in New York City, Boston, and Washington D.C.

If you are selected, these are initial 30 minute interviews and there is likely to be an additional interview process if things go well.  Each of these days includes companies from all different fields, so please take a moment to check the event sites.  Contact Brian Frenette in the Career Resource Center at bfrenette@wesleyan.edu or by dialing 860 685 2180 with questions.
