Webinars
Many of our activities during the Virtual Career Fair will be live events, scheduled for specific dates and times during the three-day Virtual Career Fair. You can view the schedule for these events here. .

A webinar is a web-based seminar or workshop. We will be using Go-to-Webinar for our platform.

With a webinar, you log on to the webinar through your computer and will be able to see slides and and other visuals on your computer screen while listening to audio either through your computer or by calling a special phone line that is provided at the time you register for the webinar. You will be able to ask questions of the presenters using a special "chat" window that will be part of the webinar. Depending on the size of the audience, you may also be able to ask questions through your audio connection. Some presentations will also have polls where you'll be able to give feedback on your response to questions by clicking a link on your computer screen.

On the schedule, you will see a link to "Register for this Workshop" for those scheduled topics that will be delivered via a webinar. Click on that link and complete the registration form. You will receive an email with a link to your webinar session and instructions on how to participate.
