The job search for many students is right around the corner. With the new school year finally here, it's important to remind your students of the great opportunities coming up next month that can help them get on the right track with job searching.

Husker Suit Up:
We're partnering with JCPenny where students have the opportunity to build their professional attire wardrobe with all the perks of great discounts. Husker Suit-Up will take place Sunday, September 9, 6:30pm-9:30pm at Gateway Mall's JCPenney Store.

Backpacks to Briefcases:
Students are also encouraged to check out Backpacks to Briefcases, hosted by the Nebraska Student Alumni Association and Career Services. This is a unique event where students engage in fast paced presentations and round table conversations led by industry professionals, career advisors and campus leaders to help prepare for the upcoming career fair and interview season. This year's Backpacks to Briefcases will be Thursday, September 20, 6pm-8pm in the Nebraska Union Centennial Room.
