Students are invited to register for the annual All Majors Career and Internship Fair on Thursday, March 25, from 3 to 7 p.m. ET. Within a virtual setting, students will be provided the same level of support and guidance with the enhanced opportunity of one-on-one employer meetings. Rising to the evolving professional landscape, Syracuse University Career Services has created a space that turns interest into internships and connections into careers. All undergraduate and graduate students are welcome and encouraged to attend regardless of major.
“In a time where students may begin careers virtually, the All Majors Career and Internship Fair serves as the perfect space for students to network, gain internships, secure employment and display adaptability to the changing professional world,” says Dan McSweeney, Career Services assistant director of employer relations. “We’re here to meet those evolving needs and help students turn their professional goals into a reality. Additional highlights include nearly 60 different employers, including Fox Corporation, Lowe’s, Omnicom Health Group and more.”
