On-Campus Recruiting Program
The University operates on a two-semester calendar. Recruiting occurs during each semester, September 30 - December 12, and February 1 - May 1. We know that every employer has different recruiting needs; that is why we offer the opportunity to:
  • Experience a personalized visit (catering options, flexible scheduling, targeted marketing, meetings with faculty, staff or special student groups)
  • Conduct interviews using pre-select scheduling in our NACElink Network or arrange an open sign-up schedule in which students reserve interview slots on a first-come, first-served basis
  • Career Services will contact the students you are interested in meeting and arrange your interview schedule prior to your visit to campus
  • Utilize top of the line interview and meeting spaces (equipped with computer hook-ups, wireless internet access, presentation technology and telephones for business use)

If you are interested in arranging an on-campus visit, please contact the recruiting coordinator at (315) 229 - 5906. For directions and information on traveling to St. Lawrence University, please visit http://www.stlawu.edu/visit.html.


Resume Referral Program (Distance Recruiting)

Organizations not able to send representatives to campus are still able to connect with St. Lawrence students through our Resume Referral Program. Employers can fax, e-mail or mail us job descriptions. We advertise these positions to students, then collect and forward resumes from interested students. Or we can have students directed to your web site to submit applications and necessary materials. You may then schedule interviews at your organization by following up with individual candidates. To schedule a resume referral, call 315-229-5906 or post a job on SAINTSLink.


Sponsor an Intern

St. Lawrence interns are dynamic, energetic individuals who can contribute a fresh perspective and provide temporary assistance with special projects. For employers, this represents a valuable opportunity to "try out" students as potential employees with little or no risk.

Because the academic year at St. Lawrence follows a traditional, two-semester calendar, Career Services suggests two different options for internships: January recess (approximately 3 to 4 weeks) and/or Summer (up to 12 weeks). You may also choose to design a program option that complements your organization's schedule.

Compensation is at the discretion of the sponsoring organization. In an ideal world, all interns would be paid yet it is not a requirement for sponsoring organizations.

To post an internship, complete an Internship Information Form at http://www.stlawu.edu/career/internships/intform.php. You may also contact our Internship Coordinator, Emily McDonnell or call 315-229-5906. Once we receive your internship description our staff will begin publicizing your opportunity to the campus community.

Interested students will contact you directly or we can establish a more formal Resume Referral and collect application materials for you. Additionally, to arrange on-campus interviews, contact our Internship Coordinator.

If you are an alumnus of St. Lawrence and would like to participate in our Alumni Internship Program, please contact Emily McDonnell, our Internship Coordinator.
