Have fun at the career fair!

February 5, 2021

Happy Friday MSM Students!! It’s all about Career Fair next week!

Have fun talking with the employers! Thank you for your participation and we hope that you get a lot out of the fair! Spend some time over the weekend and next week preparing. A bit of your preparation will help to set your spring recruiting momentum.

Career Services will have a “ZOOM ROOM” (link will be shared next week) open during the hours of the fair staffed with career advisors in case you have questions or need advice during the event. See you after for a Taco debrief session.

Just remember that you have all of us to help support you!
