Hey everyone, hope you have survived the ice storm 2008! It’s like deja vu all over again
A couple of things I want to remind you about and to let you know is going on. This is like a “what’s happening” post:
CAREER EXPO 2008
128 employers will be attending the CAREER EXPO on Thursday, February 14, 1:30 – 5:30 pm at the University Plaza Convention Center.
Students can take the Blue Shuttle to Kentwood Hall as an option rather than parking at the University Plaza.
