Elliott GSS- Boutique Employer Career Fair

When: Thursday, November 6th 2025, 12:00 pm - 3:00 pm EST

Location: Elliott School of International Affairs, Lindner Commons (Room 602), 1957 E Street Northwest, Washington, D.C

Elevate your international affairs career trajectory by connecting with a curated group of boutique firms at our exclusive career fair! This event is designed especially for GWU Elliott Graduate Students. Rather than navigating a crowded field of large corporations and agencies, engage directly with recruiters and leadership from smaller, specialized organizations that value your graduate-level expertise and unique international affairs perspective. At the inaugural Boutique Employer Career Fair you will have the opportunity to: 
meet with mission-driven firms where your work will have a tangible and immediate impact
focused on organizations that have less than 500 (domestic) or 1,000 (global) total employees (where opportunities, while robust, might be overlooked)
engage in deeper conversations with representatives who are eager to find dedicated and skilled graduate student talent
Your dedication for international affairs deserves a platform where your contributions truly matter! Don't miss out on this unique networking opportunity. Bring your resume and your passion for making a difference in the world.CONFIRMED EMPLOYERS (8 TOTAL):CONCENTRIC AdvisorsISS/STOXXTD InternationalRed Cell PartnersStrider Intel-  (Strider's Resume Link -to send directly to Strider)US Chamber of CommerceForeign Policy for America#8- TBDLOGISTICSTo assist with traffic flow and manage long lines- 100 timed entry tickets (free) will be offered first, to Elliott GSS Students on October 22.
