About the Fair
The Science, Health & Wellness Career Fair brings together students and professionals at the intersection of healthcare, science, and human performance. This collaborative event is hosted in partnership with the College of Arts and Sciences, College of Nursing, College of Public Health, and the College of Education and Human Ecology, reflecting a shared commitment to interdisciplinary learning and career development.
The Science, Health & Wellness Career Fair is designed for students pursuing majors such as public health, nursing, biological and physical sciences, kinesiology, and related fields. The Science, Health & Wellness Career Fair connects attendees with employers, healthcare systems, research organizations, and OSU graduate programs that value cross-disciplinary knowledge and collaboration. Whether exploring careers in clinical care, research, health promotion, or community-based work, students will gain valuable insight, build meaningful connections, and discover pathways that align with their interests in advancing health and science together.
Preparing for the Fair
Advanced research via Handshake is recommended to determine if a particular employer of interest will be in attendance and a good fit for your career advancement. Keep checking back, as employers will be registering up to the event. You can also make an appointment via Handshake with a Career Coach to get assistance on your resume, interviewing skills, and/or job searches, or drop into our ASC Career Studio!
Our ASC Career Studio serves as a dynamic drop-in space where all ASC students can stop by without an appointment for on-the-go career guidance from their peers. Student Peer Career Coaches can answer questions about resumes, cover letters, job or internship searches, and even help set up one-on-one appointments with a professional Career Coach. The Career Studio is open for unlimited visits Monday through Friday, located just inside the East entrance of Denney Hall.
Attending employers seek to fill full-time, entry-level positions, as well as summer/year-long internships. We recommend you bring the following when you attend:
- Current Students: A valid BuckID is required to enter the fair on the day of the event. Recent graduates: bring a valid ID.
- While resumes are not required, we strongly recommend that attendees come with 10-20 copies of their resumes. Need help with your resume? Check with your college's career services to make a coaching appointment: https://asccareersuccess.osu.edu/undergraduate-students/personalize-your-career-plan/career-coaching.
This event is delivered in partnership with the following Student Organizations:
