Networking mixer, career & grad fairs next week
Release Date: February 23, 2015
PUEBLO - Three events are scheduled next week that will have a tremendous impact on the future success of Colorado State University-Pueblo students. In addition to a graduation fair for eligible seniors and graduate students, a career fair and alumni mixer will hone the skills and provide possible employment for all students.
Networking Mixer
The CSU-Pueblo Alumni Association, in partnership with the CSU-Pueblo Career Center and other generous community partners and sponsors, will host the Student to Community Networking Mixer on Tuesday, March 3, the evening prior to the annual Career Fair.
The mixer will be held from 5:30-7 p.m. on March 3 in the Occhiato University Center Hearthwell Lounge and gives students the opportunity to speak with business leaders from our community, many of whom are successful CSU-Pueblo alumni. Thanks to the generosity of Power Credit Union, students who participate will be eligible for a prize drawing for a pair of Beats headphones.
Because the benefits of networking are essential in any career path, students should understand that participation in the event could lead to internship opportunities as well as possible employment. Business dress is encouraged. Current students, alumni, employees of the University, and members of the Pueblo community are welcome to attend this free event. RSVP to Tracy Samora, director of alumni relations at 549-2858 or tracy.samora@csupueblo.edu.
Career Fair
More than 80 local, regional, state, and national employers are expected to offer employment to new college graduates at the annual Spring Career Fair from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Wednesday, March 4 in the Occhiato University Center Ballroom.
