Information Sessions are events hosted by employers on or near Carnegie Mellon's campus.  Information Sessions provide an excellent opportunity for students to:

• learn more about a company
• meet current employees of the company
• introduce themselves to recruiters of a company in which they have interest
• ask questions about specific jobs, company culture, etc.

Even if a company is interviewing on campus and you were not selected to interview, you can still use the information session as a great way to network with that company's recruiting team. 

All information sessions are posted in TartanTRAK.
