MBAs from Mid-Atlantic Region to Gather at UM for Career Quest 2007

Each year, the Robert H. Smith School of Business, in conjunction with the Washington, D.C., Graduate School MBA Coalition, co-hosts Career Quest, a MBA-level career fair. This year’s Career Quest takes place on Friday, Sept. 28, 2007, 10 a.m. – 3 p.m. at the Samuel Riggs IV Alumni Center on the University of Maryland’s campus.

Essentially, Career Quest provides MBA and other graduate business students a first-class opportunity to interact with a wide array of national corporate recruiters on a one-on-one basis. Career Quest features representatives from industries such as finance, business, marketing, real estate, IT, and many more. Prominent national recruiters in attendance include BASF, BB&T, ExxonMobil, Frito Lay, General Electric M&T Bank, and T. Rowe Price.

Career Quest is the largest MBA-only career fair in the mid-Atlantic region. Last year’s Career Quest was attended by over 70 employers and 1,200 MBAs; student attendance at this year’s event is expected to be higher than ever.

Career Quest is only open to first- and second-year MBA students and alumni from the 15 sponsoring and invited universities. Along with Maryland, other sponsoring universities include American University, Georgetown, George Washington, John Hopkins, and Wake Forest.
