If you were on campus on Wednesday, Oct. 1, you certainly noticed a big surge in traffic around the Truman campus because of the Fall Career & Grad School Expo. The Student Union was filled with 110 exhibitor tables and more than 175 representatives, and recruiters greeted more than 700 students, representing 85% of Truman’s majors. Several recruiters stayed over the next day and conducted 166 student interviews for internships and jobs with their organizations.
Career Week is planned and coordinated each semester by the Truman State University Career Center. The entire week was filled with career development opportunities including mock interviews, an etiquette dinner, a Volunteer Fair showcasing local agency opportunities, company presentations, and a LinkedIn consultant, co-sponsored by Delta Sigma Pi and Alpha Kappa Psi, who offered advice on building a strong on-line presence on this professional networking site. Student participation in all of the activities was exceptional.
The number of alumni returning to campus to represent their organizations is always impressive and we certainly welcome you to join in the fun. Spring Career Week will be February 23-26, 2015, with the Career & Grad School Expo on Wednesday, February 25, 2015.
If you would like to recruit Truman students or have any questions about the event, please contact Polly Matteson, Assistant Director, Truman State University Career Center at pollym@truman.edu.
