鈥淭he Career Fair is always a great opportunity to connect with organizations and see what their needs are,鈥� said Molly Bandimere, Career Services event manager. 鈥淭his year we鈥檝e modified our event to provide more opportunities for students to get face time with employers.听We鈥檝e expanded into three rooms within the UMC and extended the time to 4 p.m. each day. We love to see our student鈥檚 succeed and this is a great opportunity to do so.鈥�
