Career and Internship Fair

This spring event is co-hosted with The Evergreen State College and is a great place for students to research possible career options, find the perfect summer or internship positions as well as the graduate that is looking for their first "full-time" job!

Past events

Interactive LinkedIn training
Students received hands on LinkedIn training by Nathaly Kolp from the Employment Security Department on Wednesday, November 30th.  LinkedIn is the world’s largest professional network with over 120 million members and growing rapidly. Participants created LinkedIn profiles and learned how to connect with groups and professionals.

International Student Etiquette Lunch
Since the campus wide etiquette dinner in October was a huge success, international students hosted their own on Thursday, December 1st.

Etiquette Dinner
This event was back by popular demand! In October, students enjoyed a presentation of basic dining and business professional etiquette over a delicious meal prepared by Bon Appétit. The event was utilized as a practice for a job interview over a meal (a common practice by employers for professional positions). Thanks to the generosity of the Office of Campus Life and Enterprise Rent A Car, we were happy to provide the event at no cost. A tentative spring 2012 date has been set for Thursday, March 8, 2012!

There were two presentations on medical schools. The first was a panel of osteopathic physicians held in mid-October.

Both sessions talked about the application process and alternative career paths. For information from the sessions, please contact the Career Center.
