reminders
Earlier this month we asked you to
participate in a research initiative that measures college student attitudes and behaviors
about course materials, online learning, and technology. The survey will help us
understand how we can best support our students and how technology and online learning
will play a role in the future of higher education. You still have time to take the survey
here.

internships
“After attending a job fair, I realized
my management major wasn’t a good fit for me. I met with Career Services to
assess different majors and decided to go into supply chain management. This fall, I met
with my college career consultant and he helped me plan for the upcoming job fair. After
the fair, I had the pleasure of interviewing with Georgia-Pacific and accepted a position as
a procurement specialist.” Stop by Career Services in Dunford Hall or browse their website to find out ways their office can help you
find a job or internship.
