The University of New Mexico Career Services office, on behalf of the UNM Hispanic Engineering and Science Organization (HESO), invites you to attend the 28th Annual HESO Career Fair, Tuesday, September 23, 2008! This career fair is open to all students from all majors. Employers from all sectors are encouraged to attend. HESO is dedicated to attracting under-represented students to engineering and science through personal development and implementation of various recruitment and retention activities. The career fair is being coordinated in partnership with the UNM Office of Career Services. Career Services will be managing the registration, which will be done exclusively online.

We had 848 job seekers attend The Hispanic Engineering and Science Organization Career Fair 2007 and we anticipate similar participation for 2008.

Dual Format

To help you get the most out of your recruiting efforts, the technical/science/engineering career fair is scheduled in conjunction with the Anderson Schools of Management Career Fair, also scheduled for September 23, 2008. The dual format will allow you to visit UNM one day, reach science and engineering students in the morning and afternoon, and business students in the afternoon and early evening. The business school fair will be open to job seeker traffic from 3:30 PM to 7:00 PM. Separate registration is required to attend both events. Organizations that register for both career fairs will be given the same table for both events.

Driving Directions

Airport car rental shuttles provide transportation between the terminal building and the Car Rental Center located at 3400 University Blvd SE. Shuttles run every 5 minutes from the commercial lane located outside the 1st level of the airport terminal building. Once you have picked up your vehicle at the rental area, drive north on University Blvd. The street curves east to become Randolph. At the traffic signal at Randolph and Yale Blvd, turn left, heading north on Yale. Campus is a 5-7 minute drive from that intersection. Enter campus at Yale and Central, and head east to the Visitor Parking Structure which is adjacent to Central/Stanford entrance to campus.

Parking is very closely monitored on our campus. We cannot be responsible for tickets or towing if you choose to park outside the visitor lot.
