Career and Grad School Expo Readies Students for Next Step

This year’s fall Career and Graduate Expo will take place the week of Sept. 23.

The expo is open to students of all majors and academic levels. This event is hosted by the Career Center twice a year as a way to help students prepare for graduate school, internships and job searches. The expo provides a chance for students to meet with a large number of representatives from businesses, non-profits, government, and graduate and professional schools.

The week will begin Sept. 23 with the chance for students to have their professional documents critiqued from 5-6 p.m. in the Student Union Building Alumni Room. A personal statement workshop, hosted by Dave Lusk, associate vice president for career development, will take place from 5-6 p.m. Sept. 24 in the Student Union Building Alumni Room.

From 11 a.m.-3 p.m. Sept. 25 the Graduate School Expo will take place. This is an opportunity for those thinking of pursing graduate studies to connect with their future school. The Career and Internship Expo is scheduled for 11 a.m.-3 p.m. Sept. 26. There students will get to talk to several employers visiting campus. Both expo events will be in the Student Union Building Georgian Rooms. Students will also have the opportunity to have professional pictures taken by Tim Barcus, campus photographer, from 11 a.m.- 3 p.m. in the Student Union Building Alumni Room both expo days.
