About this Event
The Fall 2024 Career Showcase Week combines our two largest traditional fairs (formerly called the STEM Career Fair and Eagle Expo Career Fair) into one comprehensive week. This week will include many of the nation's top companies seeking out Georgia Southern's brightest students and alumni for internship, co-op, full-time, & part-time positions.
