ODU Career Summit

The ODU Career Summit is a drive-in conference that allows recruiters and ODU faculty and staff to interact, learn, connect, and engage. Now, more than ever, it is critical for higher education and the workforce to align as we prepare students for life after graduation through meaningful experiences both on campus and beyond. This conference addresses critical topics impacting college recruitment and career development and fosters engagement with the premier institution of the Hampton Roads area. 今年的主题是伙伴关系的价值. The conference will feature various sessions to help our employers leverage ODU as a vital source for their talent pipeline and help our faculty/staff effectively support students' career aspirations.

On May 10, 2023 we welcomed approximately 70 representatives from more than 40 companies and more than 50 faculty and staff to the inaugural ODU Career Summit. 这次小型会议的主题是“培养明天的人才”. 我们杰出的主讲人是注册会计师杰森·凯斯. We had many presentations, breakout sessions and panels throughout the day.
