Leslie Neal, manager of marketing and events for ̫ӳ’s Career Center, said fall and spring Career Days events are a win-win-win for recruiters, students and alumni, and ̫ӳ as a whole.
“Having a big group of recruiters all in one location is the biggest benefit for students,” she said. “Even if they are not ready to graduate or looking for a full-time position, they still can take advantage of opportunities like this to prepare and practice. Recruiters are impressed with the quality of our students, and our students’ participation brings more and more recruiters back to campus.”
