MSU Communication to hold Career Fair
The MSU Department of Communication and Career Center will hold the second annual Communication Career Fair on Wednesday, Feb. 27, from 1-4 p.m. in the recently renovated Union Ballroom on the Starkville campus. This event is designed to offer current majors in the department and related majors an opportunity to meet with communication-specific prospective employers.
Exhibitors will each have a table, access to electricity, and a wireless
Internet connection to set up a display and meet students on a come-and-go basis. There is a small registration fee of $75.00 to cover lunches, refreshments, and the table/chairs setup for employers. There is no charge for students to attend. Exhibitors may also choose to interview students the next morning in Montgomery Hall at the MSU Career Center.
“Last year’s event was very successful, and we are hoping to expand this
year’s even further, stated Dr. John E. Forde, APR, communication department head. “Not only are we striving to help our students, but we also want to provide employers an opportunity to connect with prospects who could positively impact their organizations for years to come.”
Employers with internships and graduate program coordinators are also
encouraged to attend. A major goal of the event is to have numerous
organizations represented that would interest students in various
concentrations of communication and similar fields: broadcasting,
communication studies, journalism, public relations, theatre, marketing,
sports communication, art, etc. Organizers plan to provide a list of
employers and graduate schools attending prior to the event through the school newspaper and e-mail.
