Promoting Your Event

Companies often want to know how to publicize their information session. Would you like your information session placed on the University Calendar and available to the public? If yes, please include your website information and a flyer (if you have one) in an email to your CCO contact.

The Center for Career Opportunities (CCO) is a great resource for creating visibility on campus. Information Sessions sponsored by the Center for Career Opportunities (CCO) will be posted to students online on the myCCO calendar, the student's version of NACElink. Please remember that companies are responsible for publicizing their information sessions. Your CCO Employer coordinator will be able to advise you. If you are unsure who your company's coordinator is, check the link here -  https://www.cco.purdue.edu/employers. 

You could also reach out to the various colleges, schools, or student organizations. Here is a link providing department contacts and student organization information - https://www.cco.purdue.edu/Employers/contactinfo?tab=Agriculture. The various colleges are listed under "Contact Info" on the left side of the page. Click on the appropriate college to see a list of contacts in each department.
