The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign has received an exclusive invitation for its students to participate in a study about the career goals, expectations and ideal employers of top college students.

Top companies, including many that recruit ILLINOIS students, base their recruiting strategies on Universum’s research so it will truly benefit you and your peers to share your opinions on recruiting and employers. Companies will only see the collective results, and your participation/identity will be kept confidential.
 

In appreciation for your time you will receive two free WetFeet Insider Guides of your choice, access to a library of career webinars and $25 off your next flight among other incentives.
 

All respondents are also entered into the Universum 2013 Sweepstakes for a chance to win a $1,500 Scholarship.
