reminders
When there’s a threat of an active shooter on
campus, your instinct would make you run or hide. But sometimes the stress of an
emergency situation can impact your ability to think clearly before taking action. How you
respond immediately is critical. Do you know when it is best to run or seek cover? Answers
can be found on the emergency preparedness website.

“I obtained my summer internship by attending the
Supply Chain Management Job Fair. I’m not a supply chain major, but was still
encouraged to attend the fair and gain experience interacting with recruiters. To my
surprise, several companies were interested and contacted me even though I was a
sophomore with little business experience. Career Services helped me prep for phone
interviews… My preparation kept me confident during the interviews and I was
chosen as a paid supply chain intern at Cummins Inc. in Charleston, South Carolina.” Stop
by Career Services in Dunford Hall or visit their
website to find out how their team can help you find a great job or internship
opportunity and upcoming job fairs.
