The Center for Career and Professional Development (CCPD) invites Clemson University faculty and staff to connect with visiting employers during the Spring Career Fair, set for Feb. 16–19, 2026, in Littlejohn Coliseum. The fair will be open to students from noon to 4 p.m. each day, featuring representatives from a wide range of organizations offering internship and full-time job opportunities.
Each year, the fair is scheduled around home basketball games and gymnastics meets, which can limit available dates. CCPD encourages faculty to consider these dates when planning major exams or project deadlines so students can take full advantage of these professional engagement opportunities.
To further strengthen academic-industry partnerships, faculty and staff are invited to join CCPD team members from 10–11 a.m. each day of the Career Fair for a special networking session with visiting organizational representatives before the doors open to students. This informal gathering provides a time to share Clemson’s academic strengths, highlight unique departmental programs and explore opportunities for collaboration that connect classroom learning with industry practice.
“Faculty and staff play an essential role in preparing students for life after Clemson,” says Neil Burton, executive director of the CCPD. “Their presence during these sessions helps employers better understand the academic excellence and innovation that define the Clemson Experience.”
The CCPD appreciates the ongoing partnership of faculty and staff in supporting students as they pursue meaningful careers and professional success. For more information on how to take advantage of this unique opportunity, or support students during their time at the fair, contact Neil Burton or Brittany Neely with the CCPD.
