TPE Volunteer Opportunities

Help Make The Placement Exchange a great experience for all!

  • Virtual Menu

  • Candidates

    Our flagship TPE event previously averaged thousands of virtual interviews while creating a personalized, comfortable experience for candidates and employers. We are confident that a virtual setting will not only maintain a personalized interaction, but will enhance comfort levels and access to quality employers and candidates.  TPE Virtual will be a cost effective and efficient way to connect student affairs job seekers to the greatest number of employers and jobs in a convenient setting.

  • Employers

    Our flagship TPE event averages between 500-800 candidates over the past few years. By transitioning to a virtual event, the TPE Spring Event becomes a cost-effective way for even more candidates and employers to participate. Through the TPE Virtual Platform, employers will be able to efficiently and effectively screen and conduct "face-to-face" interviews with the top Student Affairs candidates in a condensed period of time.
