Host an Information Session
Whether you want to engage with our students virtually or on campus, it’s easy to schedule an information session!
To best plan and market your session to our students, please submit virtual session requests in Handshake at least three weeks before the event date. On-campus sessions require at least four weeks notice.
Virtual Sessions

Ways to optimize your virtual event:
- Tuesdays through Thursdays are the best weekdays to host an event.
- School: Search for University of Idaho. Make sure you’ve added us to your Favorites list and that you are approved to post events with us.
- Date: We recommend clicking the small calendar icons to select dates
- Time Zones: The Moscow main campus and Coeur d’Alene Center are on Pacific Time. The Boise and Idaho Falls Centers are on Mountain Time.
- Branding Image: Include your organization’s logo to promote your session. If you have a logo for your company profile on Handshake, it will load automatically. If you would like to use a different one, click the pencil icon to upload a new image.
- Description: Explain to students what you will discuss, include features or highlights of your session such as speakers, office 360 tours or panel members, and if applicable, consider mentioning your target majors or class years.
On-Campus Sessions
Our Employer Relations team is eager to assist in creating and scheduling your on-campus session. Find answers to common questions below and reach out to us at 208-885-6121 or careerservices@uidaho.edu to begin planning your event.
A staff member will meet you 15-20 minutes before your event begins to assist with setup. We can provide basic media needs, including connections for HDMI and VGA. Many event spaces also have audio. Please mention media needs in advance as it can be difficult or impossible to accommodate day-of.
Career Services is pleased to provide a complimentary campus parking permit to recruiters; our team will contact you with details after confirming your visit. Alternatively, you may purchase a Visitor Permit for $3 online in advance of your visit. For hourly visits to campus, you may pay at self-serve stations or SmartMeter spaces.
Exclusivity
Campus Dining Services by Sodexo has been contracted by University of Idaho to provide all on-campus food and beverage service.
Ordering
Catering arrangements and menu selections should be confirmed within 10 business days of your event. While Dining Services can occasionally accommodate needs with less lead time, sufficient notice allows them to schedule production and staffing. An additional fee will be assessed for all orders placed less than 10 business days prior to your event.
Please call 208-885-2576 to work with the Catering Office.
Groups or individuals with room reservations in the Idaho Student Union Building (ISUB) or Bruce Pitman Center that fail to provide 24-hour written notice of cancellation or fail to show at all will be charged a $25 cancellation fee, assessed by Events and Support Services.
