Washburn University to Host Fall Career & Internship Expo Sept. 16
Topeka, Kan. – The Washburn University Career Engagement department will host the annual Washburn Career & Internship Expo 10 a.m. – 2 p.m., Sept. 16 in Lee Arena in the Petro Allied Health Center (1901 SW Mulvane St.) on the Washburn University campus.
Students can visit with representatives from offices across Washburn, organizations with open positions from the local community, as well as explore internship opportunities and graduate programs. Students can also speak to potential employers about what kind of education and skills they look for when hiring specific jobs. More than 115 organizations offering internships, part-time and full-time positions and graduate programs have registered to attend this event. The public is welcome to attend this free fair.
“We are always excited to welcome our local employers, often our own Washburn alumni, to campus to talk to our students about their internship and job opportunities,” said Dr. JuliAnn Mazachek, president, Washburn University. “The annual event is a great illustration of how we work together to make our students successful and build a thriving community for all.”
“This is a great opportunity for students, and really anyone who is interested, to meet with employers to explore career opportunities,” said James Barraclough, director of career engagement, Washburn University. “These conversations can help steer decisions on majors, minors, experiential learning opportunities like internships and creating career-informed goals.
“Make sure to dress professionally, bring your resume and come ready to network.”
