UCSD Industry and Alumni Relations: Campus Recruiting Visit and Career Opportunities

Dear graduate students,

I want to share a few prestigious annual career opportunities at companies that UCSD has built a strong recruitment relationship with during the last few years.  UCSD graduate students have consistently received interviews and accepted offers with these highly-selective organizations.  With these companies and the UCSD grads within now taking time to connect with students on campus it has greatly helped to prepare and connect allowing them to stand out from the often fierce competition, affirm career paths, and effectively transition to successful and satisfying jobs.
