CNAS STEM Career Expo is next Monday, November 5
Faculty, please share this information with your classes!
The career expo in the PSU Ballroom is for all STEM CNAS students. First and second year students who are interested in learning about careers in STEM may attend to learn about options. Any student (undergraduate or graduate) who is interested in an internship or a job should bring a resume, as they will have an opportunity to speak directly with one of the 15 companies who will attend. Students who wish to participate must attend the full program from 3:30-5:30 PM. During this time, students will learn about interview skills and other important information to prepare for an interview; career possibilities at the 15 companies; and finally students will practice their interview skills prior to meeting with each individual company. Email cnas@missouristate.edu to request an electronic version of the flyer so you can share it with your students. All CNAS faculty are also welcome to attend this event. (Hospitality Leadership held their career expo on October 17 and it was truly an awesome event.)
Please join me in supporting our campus and our community by making gifts to the MSU Foundation and United Way. You can find more information about both campaigns at https://www.missouristatefoundation.org/facultystaffcampaigns.html
I use payroll deduction for my gifts but you have many options. I hope you will join me in investing in our community and our university. Tammy
