TPE Virtual Spring 2021

Location: Anywhere  |  Dates: TBD

  • Joseph Bozzo | Candidate | Volunteer

    TPE Onsite is a vibrant, supportive, developmental, and invigorating opportunity for me as a candidate and volunteer.

    From the warm welcome at check-in to the genuine care exhibited by the coaches and presenters, I felt that I had all I needed to give it my all when it came time for my interviews.

  • Tiffany Firestone | Candidate | TPE Intern

    I felt confident and excited to engage.

    I appreciated how positive everyone was and how much we all wanted the others to succeed. Thanks to TPE I found an incredible position that is a perfect fit. I wouldn't have known if it weren't for my ability to interview with so many institutions.

  • Kelli Dowd | Candidate | Volunteer

    I managed to find multiple positions working with service and leadership programming and was able to find exactly the position I was looking for.

    Thank you TPE for showing me the interview ropes!

TPE Spring 2021 | Vitual Event | Important Information

​​TPE has been evolving over the past few years with an emphasis on leveraging technology to create more opportunities to enhance both the employer (recruitment) experience as well as the candidate (job search) experience. We have simultaneously been intentional in thinking about the limitations around access that coincide with a place-based in-person interview event. While the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated our timeline, we are at a point in time where we are ready - and excited - to make this leap to a virtual offering.  

TPE 2021 will be entirely virtual. TPE will spend the next few months continuing to focus on building a new and enhanced virtual TPE experience to best serve the needs of our employers and candidates. At the same time, we understand the current uncertainty around spring recruitment season and hiring possibilities. A completely virtual TPE will also provide for greater flexibility for employers, as well as fewer financial limitations (travel, hotel, time away from work, etc.) for both candidates and interview teams.  

We will have more information available in early to mid-fall about TPE 2021.  In the meantime, please feel free to reach out with any questions.  We know that the higher education landscape is changing now more than ever, and TPE looks forward to working with our campus colleagues to assist with the next iteration of the student affairs recruitment and job search process. 

Sponsored by seven national student affairs organizations, The Placement Exchange is the one-stop shop for Student Affairs positions. Whether it is your first job in Student Affairs, or your next step up the organizational ladder, your search for a new and exciting future begins here.
