Logistics

Parking

Due to the urban nature of the campus, parking is limited, carpooling is encouraged, and early arrival is imperative. Career Fair parking is available at:

• Veale Garage (S-53), next to Veale Athletic Center
• Severance Garage (S-29), about 1/4 mile away
• Garage near the Village at 115 on East 118th Street (S-46), about 1 mile away.

Volunteers will be in the turnaround on Adelbert Road between the Veale Garage and the 121 Fitness Center between 8:30 and 10:30 a.m. Employers may pull up to drop off materials, and volunteers will deliver items to tables. Employers may then park and return to check in. Shuttle stops are located across Euclid Avenue from Severance Center at the Visitor's Center and just outside the parking garage at S-46. Career Fair participants should exit the shuttle at the Adelbert Gym/121 Fitness Center, which is near Veale Athletic Center.

Information for campus visitors.

Shipping

Employers may ship career fair packages to the Cedar Avenue Service Center (CASC), where they will be held until the Career Fair. Please do not ship Career Fair materials to the Career Center. The Career Center is unable to confirm the receipt of your package at the CASC, so please keep your tracking information. Packages shipped to the CASC before noon on Tuesday will be delivered to the fair venue and placed beside your table. Clearly mark all packages with your organization's name and the number of packages (1 of x). Packages that are not clearly marked with your organization's name may not be delivered. The Career Center cannot be held responsible for packages that are not clearly marked with your organization's name. Reductions in mailroom delivery staff mean that late packages will not be delivered in time for the Career Fair. The Career Center cannot be held responsible for packages that arrive after noon on Tuesday.
