We're inviting all college students and alumni to University Night on Friday, April, 11! This night will allow the students to focus on career advancement, with a job fair hosted by the Mud Hens in one of our interior party spaces, helping them establish connections with industry leaders and secure internships for their degree.
Students are also encouraged to mix and mingle with alumni and their peers to build more vital connections before prepping for spring semester finals. We encourage you to wear your school's colors, too!
More information coming soon!

Is this event just for college/university students? If so, what other schools would be participating?
The pregame career advancement is primarily built with only college students in mind. This invitation is not being extended to secondary education institutions. We are working with UT, BGSU, Owens, Northwest State, and Eastern Michigan University, as well as major schools and smaller ones within an hour drive of Toledo.
Do you have an idea of how many businesses might participate?
We are targeting 25-60 businesses.
Will businesses be local or regional?
All of the above! Business of all sizes and from various markets are excited to meet with and get to know your students. We also have businesses with worldwide impact RSVP'd for the event.
Will the Mud Hens/Walleye have representatives that can speak to various career opportunities within your organizations?
Yes, we will! We will be available to speak with students regarding careers and opportunities within the Mud Hens and Walleye organization.
What majors will these businesses be looking for?
Opportunities for all majors can be found. We just need to know who is coming and we can arrange businesses fitting your group or departments' interest!
Will the businesses represent certain industry segments?
Each business will have its own opportunities that they are looking to fill, all with different degree requirements/preferences. We are collecting the open positions to be filled as well as the majors that are being targeted to better market this to interested schools.
Will the universities have tables at the job fair as well, or just the businesses?
The pregame event is focused on the businesses. The universities are welcome to set up a table on the concourse to take advantage of the theme night, interest soon-to-be college students and their families, collection donations from/for alumni or certain departments, and more. Please reach out if interested.
Does the $14 ticket price include admission into the ballgame?
Yes! The ticket provides admission and full access to the pregame job fair and the Mud Hens game.
What would be the cost for staff or potential chaperones?
Staff and chaperones can also gain admission to both events for $14/ticket.
Will there be any designated parking for the event either for buses and/or individual participants?
We are currently working with the city to determine a location for bus parking. There is an abundance of parking lots and garages downtown to host individual participants' vehicles.
