Ferris State spring 2026 Career Success Expo connects students, alumni with 150 employers on Feb. 26

Ferris State University students and alumni are invited to connect with more than 150 employers and professional organizations at the Spring 2026 Career Success Expo, planned for Thursday, Feb. 26 at the Student Recreation Center.  

Coordinated by the Career & Professional Success office and a university-wide planning committee of faculty, staff, employers, and alumni, the expo reflects Ferris State’s strong commitment to career readiness and student success.

“The expo provides one day for all students to explore resources available at Ferris State University to become career ready, no matter where you are in your journey,” said Angela Roman, Career and Professional Success director.

Held each semester, the Career Success Expo serves as a signature event of the career ecosystem at Ferris State University. 

It directly benefits students by bringing together employers, alumni, and campus partners who support students as they are introduced to current career resources, career exploration, ways to strengthen their skills through involvement, seeking to secure internships and jobs, and building professional networks.

Students in all majors and industries are invited to the session that runs form 9 a.m. to noon. The session running from 2 to 5 p.m. is aimed at Engineering Technology students and grads.

Michele Albright, Career Readiness Specialist and expo coordinator, said students and alumni are passionate about taking care of one another and employing other Bulldogs. 

“While the job market is tough to enter, Ferris State students are finding good jobs!” Albright said. “Employers seek our Ferris State students and alumni because of their hands-on, practical, career preparation. We work hard to offer extensive programming and opportunities across the entire university community to engage our students in ways that create professional connections and competencies. Ferris students leave with confidence, grit, leadership potential, and the ability to make critical decisions.”

Students can look forward to meeting with recruiters from local and regional organizations, a swell as some well-known corporations with presence across the United States and abroad.

This year’s event includes an increased number of organizations seeking candidates for in-demand roles such as teachers, sales and accounting, data analysts, all health occupations, automotive and heavy equipment technicians.
