CAREER SHUTTLE SERIES- Site visits to organizations 
Career Shuttles are group site visits to employers in the greater Washington DC area.  A chartered UMD bus takes students to companies, non-profit organizations, government agencies, studios, and other places of employment typically not represented in on-campus career fairs.  Visits include site tours, conversations with alumni working in the organization, and in-depth information about internship or entry-level hiring. Seats on the shuttle are limited and our non-show policy is strictly enforced.
