CCD Spring and Fall Picnics

The CCD welcomes your sponsorship of our Fall 2021 Picnic. Previously "CCD Open House," this event attracts hundreds of students each semester as we launch the recruiting season. Outside, students can take advantage of free food trucks while enjoying a live DJ and giveaways. Inside, CCD career advisors review resumes, cover letters, and answer career development questions at Resumayhem. As a sponsor, you will receive premium space outside to share information (and swag) about your company with students. This is a great way to build brand recognition on campus before recruiting season begins.
