• The intended majors: Actuarial Science, Math, and Statistics.​

Student Interviews

• Due to the nature of the Career Fair, we will not have on-campus interviews on 9/15.
  • However, we are encouraging companies to reach out to students and set up online/phone interviews the day after the Career Fair.  If you have any issues with software to set it up, please contact Vince Birch.
  • Companies are responsible for scheduling interview times directly with students.
    • In the past, recruiters usually schedule interviews with candidates by contacting them via the Resume Book, meeting with them through information sessions, or during the Career Fair.
  • If you believe your company has an extreme extenuating circumstance leading to the necessity of an on-campus interview, please contact Vince and explain the situation.​
• On-Campus interviews must be scheduled through the Business Career Center; contact Krista White for details.  However, Penn State is encouraging companies to interview virtually if possible this year.

​Job Offers
​To provide students with time to assess and compare job offers, please give students at least 15 Business days for a final decision.  Many recruiters allow students until November 1st to make a decision.
