               295 Massie Road

Diversity Career Day (DCD) attracts over 150 corporations, non-profit organizations, and government agencies seeking candidates with diverse backgrounds. You don’t want to miss this opportunity to meet employers in person, learn about different organizations and positions, and talk with them about your experiences. DCD is the perfect place to make a good first impression and start networking your way to a career!

Diversity Career Day is open to all students at colleges and universities throughout Virginia and Washington DC. This regional recruiting event typically attracts more than 1200 students from all majors looking for full-time and internship opportunities. All students are welcome!

Think that Diversity Career Day is not for health professions students?  Think again!  Organizations represented could be amazing bridge year opportunities, including non-profits, the UVA Health System, EPIC medical software, the Peace Corps, Teach for America, and more!

There will also be a photo booth at DCD!  Passport-sized photos will be taken for LinkedIn accounts.  These pictures would suffice for your photo submission on secondary applications for health professions programs!  The photo booth will be at the event from 11am-1pm.

Students are not required to pre-register and can simply check-in at the registration desk when they arrive.
