Students are finishing the fifth week of classes already, and Career Services has marked each of those weeks on a calendar overflowing with networking opportunities for students and alumni. Activities from Sept. 10-14 included a daylong Human Services & Restorative Justice Expo on Tuesday and several more Recruitment Days, including an architecture-related one on Thursday.
Fast approaching is the Fall Career Fair, from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Oct. 2-3 in Bardo Gymnasium and the Field House. A searchable directory of participating employers is available through Career Services.
