2014 A&AA Recruitment Fair---- A Huge Success!

 



The Professional Outreach and Development for Students (PODS) annual Recruitment Fair on February 20 welcomed nineteen actively recruiting employers to Lawrence Hall, making this one of PODS' best recruiting events ever. Here, UO alumnus Doug Streeter (right) of Perkins & Will talks with a student while others network in the enthusiastic crowd. All of the recruiters were busy all day meeting students and sharing information about their firms and career opportunities, with three of the firms offering well-attended information sessions and seven firms interviewing students on site. Every firm sent at least one Oregon alumnus as a representative, so for them it was a great homecoming event. Hundreds of students participated; as the e-news went to press, at least one student has already accepted an internship with his dream firm based on connections made at the Fair. Photograph by Cody Rappaport.
