December 1, 2013
We have a lot to be thankful for as many employers come to Blacksburg to recruit Pamplin students. We are planning a unique event this Thursday for students to connect with top employers. At this event, we also need seniors to complete a couple of surveys to continue this employer demand. We know your time is precious. Thanks for giving us some. We'll have some food too. 
December 5 Career Event in Pamplin Atrium
So here are the specifics on Thursday's event. That's December 5 from 10-2pm in the Pamplin Atrium. Tables will be setup with the following stations:
  • Job/career search assistance from Smith Career Center
  • Computers for SENIORS to take the BusinessWeek Survey  
  • Computers for ANY Pamplin student to take the Universum survey.
  • Multiple employers (EY, Apex Systems, Vanguard, FedBid, and possibly two more) who still have full-time and internship spots.
  • Free Food 
Hope to see you there. 
IMPORTANT: 2013 Businessweek Undergraduate Business School Ranking Survey

Here are the specifics on the BusinessWeek survey. 

 

If you are a senior, an email was sent to you from 
bw2014@cambriaconsulting.com. 

 

Check your junk folder. If you did not get it, BusinessWeek will send it again. We are also working on getting a direct link to share too. 

 

It should take about 15 minutes. We need a minimum response to be recognized in the publication.

 

Thank you for your time! 

Local Summer Internships - December 3
We still have a couple of spots open for this unique opportunity!

On Tuesday, December 3 from 730am - 9 am at Tecton Products (about 30 minute drive from Blacksburg @ 5415 Corporate Cir, Salem, VA 24153), I have been asked by the Roanoke-Blacksburg Technology Council to present on the topic of summer internships. Attendees at this meeting will be local companies who want a sales and marketing intern for the summer. I am inviting students who are interested in a local summer internship to accompany me to this meeting and talk to interested local employers. Yes it is an early meeting, but it will be worth the effort. Please email me at smease@vt.edu to participate.
