Brief History

In 1994, the School of Management lacked a centralized job fair for its students. Several student organizations put on smaller job fairs for their members. The School of Management decided to combine these efforts and hold one job fair for all its students. Student representatives from each Krannert organization formed the original School of Management Employers Forum committee.

Today the Employers Forum is a first class event. Recruiters and students consistently report the positive and rewarding nature of the Employers Forum. In order to expand its mission and purpose, the School of Management Employers Forum continuously explores new opportunities for development. It’s highly dedicated and exceptionally qualified committee members are the source of its success growth.
