2010 Career and Internship Fair in Review

 Students speaking with employers at the 2010 Career and Internship Fair

The Spring 2010 Career Fair came to a close in what both employers and Career Center staff felt to be a resounding success. A total of 41 employers represented themselves at the fair this year, and a little over 350 students attended. Although the fair was smaller than in previous years, the vibe was undoubtedly better. In their reviews, employers went out of their way to comment not only on how impressed they were with student's preparation for the fair, but also the attendee's dress and conversation. It seems the students who attended this year not only wanted to be there but prepared appropriately by doing their research, and from the Employer's end it certainly showed.

So, to everyone who attended the fair this year, please give yourself a big ole' pat on the back. Now just don't forget to follow up with all those employers you met with - networking is everything!

Have a great spring break,
Sarah

p.s. Don't forget our office is open during Spring Break for regular business hours (9-5) from Monday to Friday. Drop in hours will only be from 11am-2pm each day (no evening drop-ins over break). I'll be here, so drop by to say and keep me busy.
