Student Groups
Student groups wishing to reserve interview space in the Career Center should email careercenter@uiowa.edu with the dates, number of rooms and type of rooms needed (interview or conference).
Policies:
- The Pomerantz Career Center is open from 8am-4:30pm. We ask that interviews take place between those hours. Ideally, interviews will start at 8:30am and the last interview will start at 4pm. Please let us know if you need access to the interview space prior to 8am.
- Interview groups should only access front entrance doors - not the back doors as those require swipe access.
- We ask that you please keep the interview rooms as tidy as possible. Please push chairs back in and empty trash (there are bins in the main waiting room).
- There may be other interviewers/interviewees or full-time staff using the space, so please keep the noise to a minimum. If you need to have a group discussion, please close the office door.
