Shipping to and from Campus

If you are looking to ship any displays or supplies to campus before Career Fair please use the following shipping information to ensure that your packages are delivered and ready for you. Since we are located in the Upper Peninsula shipping times can take longer than normal. Please plan accordingly to ensure there is enough time for your items to arrive before Career Fair.  

Any items that arrive on campus marked for Career Fair will be delivered to your booth locations. 

Send displays to:

Michigan Tech Central Receiving
**Attn: Career Fair**
1400 Townsend Dr.
Houghton, MI 49931

Outgoing shipments after Career Fair

If you plan to need your items shipped after the fair please bring a return shipping label with you. We will have a staging location in the SDC for all outgoing packages with pick-up planned for the day after Fair.

Lodging Options

Houghton and Hancock are both beautiful places to visit. Unfortunately, it can be hard to secure lodging on short notice, especially around Career Fair. (It's worse this semester, because Career Fair falls immediately after Winter Carnival.) Luckily, we have a few resources that may help if you are still looking for lodging options.

If you are struggling to find options please call the Keweenaw Visitors Bureau at 906-337-4579 for assistance. 

Checkout Visit Keweenaw for additional options: visitkeweenaw.com/lodging

Creative solutions like Airbnb or VRBO may also have availability. 

Download Career Fair Plus

Career Fair Plus (CF+) is the mobile app that we use for all Career Fair and CareerFEST! events. This is a great tool to stay up to date with announcements, event details, recruiter-only notifications, and more.

Parking

Parking passes will be available at Career Fair check-in when you arrive.

You may have received an email with instructions to create and print your own parking pass using the MTU parking portal. This will give you a pass for your entire time on campus and may save you time when you first arrive. 

If you are on campus on Monday, but you were unable to get your parking pass from the portal, you can come to the Career Services office in Administration Building 220 and get one.
