On November 17, 2010, fifteen companies and organizations filled the halls of Jordan Addition ready to meet students that are eager to land internships and jobs! For the entire three hours, the booths were filled with students learning about possible opportunities. Employer representation was wide, including government agencies, corporations, small businesses, and non-profit organizations. The energy among the employers, students, and faculty was apparent and contagious.
Students commented that the Forestry and Environmental Resources Networking and Career Fair was a great experience for increasing their knowledge of employment opportunities, practicing interactions with potential employers, and networking with experienced professionals. The employers told us that they were thrilled with the student turnout, and that they enjoyed the opportunity to learn more about the curricula that students complete within each major. Many stated that they were impressed with the students’ level of preparation for the fair and their professionalism.
