Students and alumni seeking full-time job opportunities in all industries and majors are invited to the Career Center’s Spring Career Fair from 4–7 p.m. Tuesday, March 15, 2016, in the Brown Ballroom at the Bone Student Center.
Recruiters will come from a number of entities, including Fortune 500 companies, small businesses, local businesses, hospitals, and government agencies.
