What is a Connection Event?
Connection Events provide an opportunity for candidates and school representatives to meet for first round interviews. Prior to each Connection Event, school administrators are sent portfolios of candidates whose experience, background, and qualifications match open positions at those schools. Preceding Connection Events, some administrators will have set up interview appointments, although a large percentage of interviews are scheduled the day of the event. For more details on what to expect: What Happens at a Connection Event?  View a Video Montage of Our Connection Events.

What is a Diversity Event?
At our Diversity Events, educators meet with administrators and other school representatives to learn more about schools and their commitment to multiculturalism, both in the student body and among faculty and staff. A Diversity Event may be an evening program or may occur during the course of a Cal/West Connection event during the day. The events have informative speakers or discussion leaders and time for meaningful interaction and the sharing of experiences.
