Eastern Connecticut State University held its spring semester career and internship fair on April 5 in the Geissler Gymnasium. The fair was attended by more than 300 hopeful students who browsed the career opportunities of more than 70 employers.
Companies in attendance ranged from local police departments to Mohegan Sun Casino, and spanned a variety of industries such as education, finance, medical, and the armed services.
"I really appreciate that Eastern gives us this chance to connect with all these companies," said Junior Kevin Zeppieri. "It's great to be able to talk with professionals; hopefully one of them will want to hire me."
Senior Kyle Chung, who is graduating in May, said, "This event is great. It's really one of the only times that students get a chance to meet employers and figure out what they really want from us, without a full interview."
The fair was sponsored by Eastern's Center for Internships and Career Development (CICD), which organizes career and internships each fall and spring semester.
