(By Joe Banish and Adam Kurtz. UND Today) – Several hundred UND students and alumni attended the 2026 Spring Career Expo, taking part in two days of networking, career exploration and connecting with employers.

The event took place at the Memorial Union Ballroom and featured about 130 employers representing a variety of career fields. The first day centered on science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) oriented careers, while the second day featured employers in the aviation, business, education, health care and public service sectors.

For many students, the in-person setting provided clarity and confidence in navigating career options. Dawson Roshau, a third-year electrical engineering student, said the Expo helped him better understand which employers were actively recruiting.

“Looking online, it’s kind of hard to see who’s legit and who’s not,” he said. “You can search for engineering jobs, but it’s not going to show everything. Being here lets you see what’s really out there.”
