Recruiting McIntire Students
Commerce Career Services (CCS) works hard to provide McIntire students with targeted career programming and advising services, as well as to expose them to internships and employment opportunities with outstanding employers. Many of our students are offered summer internships between their third and fourth years at McIntire. Coupled with a McIntire education, this experience provides our graduates with unparalleled preparation for the workplace.
Just getting started? There are many ways we can help you build your brand at McIntire. Contact Mary Riner, Director for Employer Relations, at 434-243-8838, to talk about designing a recruiting strategy that works for you.
UVA's on-Grounds interviewing program, CAVLink, allows employers and all UVA students (including McIntire students) to interview on Grounds during the fall and spring semesters for full-time and internship positions. If you are interested in targeting all UVA students and participating in the on-Grounds interviewing program, contact University Career Services online or by calling 434-924-8900.
Commerce Career Services is available to assist you if you are interested in specifically targeting only McIntire students for your full-time and internship recruiting needs or if interview dates through CAVLink are not available. We offer services such as telephone interviews, videoconference capabilities, resume collection, and job postings. Please contact recruit@comm.virginia.edu for more information.

Recruiting International McIntire Students
"We have recruited international students from UVA for years now. Sponsoring these students turned out to be far easier than we expected, and our ability to attract exceptionally motivated and culturally diverse professionals more than offsets the nominal costs of sponsorship."
Len Wolf, The Wolf Group, PC
International students make
up more than 20% of McIntire’s
undergraduate population and
enhance our community
immeasurably. Please note that
most international students are in
the United States on student
visas (F1 and J1), although they
are eligible to accept employment in the United States under certain conditions.
