Most bulletin boards in the academic college buildings require department permission prior to posting.
Booths on Campus
Another option for employers wishing to recruit students is a table in the Shepherd Union Building. To get the most out of your visit, we recommend booking a booth during the fall or spring semester. Feel free to bring a prominent poster or banner, to showcase your company. For pricing and requests, contact WSU Shepherd Union Scheduling. Note: Career Services is unable to sponsor vendor tables.
