Fairs & Bootcamps

Each Fall before Spring pre-registration, we will hold the Major’s Fair for all BU 101: Belhaven Basics students and other under-classmen who are searching to add a minor and/or change their major.

Belhaven Career Fair

Employers and Friends of Belhaven University, welcome! We are looking to make changes in our career fair programming to better meet employer and student needs. If you have ideas or suggestions, please contact Claire Langley, Director of Career & Calling, at clangley@belhaven.edu or 601-968-5939.

Each Spring semester, employers and universities come to campus to share about opportunities including entry-level employment, summer jobs/camps, internships, mid-level career change, and graduate & professional school programs. A college career fair is a great place to network with possible future employers. It is also a good place to practice sharing about yourself in a professional setting.

Date: March 30, 2023

Time: 9:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.

Where: Billy Kim International Center
