OOPS, I missed the career fair…

Does that headline sound like you or someone you know? A lot of my friends and just people in general missed the career fair or large chunks of the career fair because of random last minute things such as being sick or having lab work that took too long. If you’re in that boat and […]

Walk In, Yeah I Did That!

This term the Career Development Center is being extremely flexible. The walk-in hours are from 10:00 AM to 4:00PM, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays!
