The Virtual Career Expo Program

The GCC-sponsored VCE is a virtual recruiting and networking experience designed to connect graduate students, postdocs, and alumni from STEM, Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences fields, to employers using the CareerEco platform. Visit our event website to learn more.


This committee plans and executes the event through member and employer outreach. This is also one of the only revenue generating opportunities for the GCC which helps support GCC member scholarships.
