SPRING INTERNSHIP AND CAREER FAIR DRAWS MORE EMPLOYERS
The 2006 Spring Internship and Career Fair offers students the opportunity
to meet recruiters and look for internships and full- and part-time jobs. The
fair will be held from 3 to 7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 9, in Parents Hall at Olmsted
Center.
This year’s fair features 70 employers, a 32 percent increase over last
year’s total of 53. Among the new additions this year are two advertising
agencies — Integer Group and Strategic America — and two television
stations — KCCI in Des Moines and WQAD in the Quad Cities. Also, there
are more companies with national reputations participating, such as Pella Corp.,
McDonalds Corp. and UPS.
“This fair is so broad that it has something for everyone. There are opportunities
for those interested in teaching, graphic design, business, broadcast, camp
counseling and communication,” said Amy Jo Reimer Myers, career development
manager for the College of Business and Public Administration and School of
Journalism and Mass Communication.
