Frequently Asked Questions



What happens at a Corporate Information Session (CIS)?
A Corporate Information Session is a short information session where company representatives will tell you about their company, their jobs, the recruiting process and how you can get an interview. Company representatives often do a slide presentation or show a video and then open the floor for questions.

How many students can we expect?
This estimate is based on the size of your company, the majors you are recruiting, and the type of employment you are looking for. The baseline for most companies is 25 students.

How much food should we order?
The amount of food ordered is automatically determined based on the number of students you are expecting. If you order from Cottage Inn, Jimmy Johns, or Zingermans, the CIS committee will take care of the ordering, delivery, and set-up for the food. More information about food can be found here.

We are a lesser-known company looking to gain some exposure. What can we do to raise company awareness for a good turn out during our session?
We highly encourage providing a company description and mentioning any well-known awards or recognition that you may have received (e.g., Fortune 500, 100 Best Companies to Work For, etc.) If you are currently in contact with students interested in your company, we encourage you to inform them of your session. You can also provide your own company flyers for us to post to promote your session.
Feel free to contact swe.cis.publicity@umich.edu for any assistance.

When should I expect my confirmation?
Once you register, the administrator will process the registration and request a room. Once the room assignments are received, you will receive a confirmation. This could take a couple of weeks. You will then receive a reminder e-mail the week before the scheduled session.

When should I expect an invoice?
An invoice will be sent during the week of you scheduled session. This e-mail will include payment instructions and an invoice. To avoid a late fee, please pay within 30 days of receiving your invoice.

Where should I mail packages?
Please mail packages to:

Christie Rockwell

1301 Beal Avenue
Ann Arbor, MI 48109

If mailing a package, we ask that you e-mail swe.cis.info@umich.edu to let our secretary know that we are expecting a package.
