Fall 2020 Adjustments Due to COVID-19

The UH Department of Computer Science is currently exploring virtual platform alternatives to the in-person, face-to-face Fall 2020 Career Fair. Depending on future public health conditions and social distancing recommendations from federal, state, city, county and university officials, we will inform employers of the virtual alternative should we decide to go that route. We are open to your suggestions and questions – email us at csevents@central.uh.edu.

The Department of Computer Science (CS) at the University of Houston (UH), in collaboration with the student organizations, CougarCS and CSGirls, hosts a career fair each Fall and Spring. The Computer Science Career Fair is an avenue for current CS students and companies to connect and discuss rewarding opportunities such as internships, co-ops, and full-time positions.
