Can we store some data into session in entity framewrok

Question

I am developing an API using entity-framework. Everything is working perfect. I have question , Can we store some particular data into a session n retrieve it on different controllers? For now everytime i have to hit my database n retireve the same information on multiple controllers. For eg: on login i got the login information of a particular employee and i would like to save some information like employeeId, divisionId into a session so that working on different controller i woud like to fetch the employeeId through the session rather than agian hitting the database.
