More than two dozen employers were at the Schneebeli Earth Science Center from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Wednesday for another in a series of program-specific Recruitment Days.

As the morning chill burned off under welcome sunshine, the day heated up with productive dialogue about full- and part-time positions and internship possibilities for students in diesel, heavy equipment and power generation majors.

A list of the semester's remaining Recruitment Days, as well as pop-up information tables and other networking opportunities, can be found on the Career Services' Events page.
