“Our goal has always been to provide a direct pipeline and
connection for our students with a diverse selection of global
employers,” said Cynthia Downing, interim executive director of
career services and experiential learning. “The extensive growth in
the fair and requests directly from employers to be included
indicates we are not only succeeding in our goals for the annual
event, but A&T is producing highly sought-after students.”
Students and employers will have the opportunity to interact and
network prior to the fair. The enormity of the career fair may
seem overwhelming, particularly for freshmen new to the experience,
to ease any trepidation the OCS will also host “How to Navigate the
Career Fair for Freshmen,” from 2 – 3 p.m., Tuesday, Sept. 11, in
the Academic Classroom Building, room 107. Additional events
for students included a resume assistance drive and a session on
professional attire. For more information on the OCS
