Fall Job and Internship Fair and On-campus Employment-web

AU’s Fall 2026 Job & Internship Fair will be held on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, from 1:00–4:00 p.m. ET in Bender Arena on the AU campus.

This year, the On-campus Employment Fair will take place in conjunction with the Fall Job & Internship Fair, creating one convenient opportunity for students to explore a wide range of employment options in a single location. The On-campus Employment Fair will run from 1:00–3:30 p.m. ET and will feature on-campus part-time opportunities

Student registration opens on August 24, 2026 at 9:00am ET.

ON-CAMPUS UNITS: The Fall 2026 On-Campus Employment Fair provides an opportunity for on-campus departments (hiring both Federal Work-Study–eligible and non-FWS positions) recruiting for paid part-time roles to connect with students seeking employment during the semester.

Employer registration for on campus units is FREE for the Fair! If you are interested in participating, please register your office or unit. Registration opens June 8 and closes August 31, or earlier if capacity is reached.

REGISTER HERE for the Fall 2026 On-Campus Employment.

Registrations will be reviewed and, where appropriate, related offices and units will be grouped into shared hiring hubs. Space is limited, and tables will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. If all tables are reserved, a waitlist will be created in order of registration. If you have any questions, please contact the event lead, Julie Jones, at [email protected]
Event co-sponsored by the AU Career Center, the Office of Human Resources, the Office of Campus Life, and the Office of Financial Aid

Scam alert

Recently, two scams have been making their way around the AU community, sent from compromised AU email addresses that fraudulently claim to offer an internship opportunity at UNICEF or a part-time job at Samaritan's Purse. See our tips to avoid scams.
