Thanks to the 1,000 students who attended the Spring Business Horizons Career Fair. Employers were pleased with the turnout.

On Friday, some firms stayed to interview. Surprisingly, there were more than a few cancelled interviews and no-shows. Certainly, things arise and schedules change, but the frequency was a bit much.

Please re-consider the consequences of these actions for the future. Thank you!
