Public Impact Fair: Careers and Resources

The Public Impact Fair: Careers and Resources will be held in-person on September 9, 2024 from 1-6 pm in Honors Hall of the John Martinson Honors College and runs adjacent to Industrial Roundtable. The fair is open to all students and majors at Purdue University who desire to make a positive public impact in advocacy, administrative, or service positions. This fair brings together government, non-profit, and industry employers to offer internships and careers in a variety of local, state, and federal government fields. It also provides information on resources to make the aspiration of working in places such as Washington D.C. a reality.
