Career Café Event
We had excellent attendance at this year's Career Café event. Around 130 students had engaging career conversations with over 50 representatives from 29 employers from a variety of industries. Recruiters commented on our students' excellent social skills and thoughtful, articulate questions, and expressed eagerness to engage with them through internships, service opportunities, and jobs.
