The University will be hosting career and internship fair events starting February 8 and ending March 1. These events are great opportunities to connect with professionals in your career interest area.
Dressing for success is an important part of making a good first impression in a professional setting. Show employers that you’re engaged and serious about your goals by wearing clothing that is clean, pressed and that fits well. Here are three resources where you can pick up free or discounted attire for the career fairs.
