Career Day, which also includes the event formerly referred to as Education Expo, will be 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Carl and Cheryl Hughes Fieldhouse. The event is free and allows Northwest students and alumni to connect with employers regarding full-time, summer and internship positions.
Graduate schools will be attendance to share information about degree programs and graduate school opportunities.
“Career Day is the perfect opportunity to explore a wide variety of internship and full-time employment openings,” Jill Brown, director of partnerships and placement at Northwest, said. “All students, regardless of major or year in school, will benefit by attending and visiting with the employers and graduate schools in attendance.”

Career Services will also host its annual Mock Interview Day from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday, April 9, on the third floor of the J.W. Jones Student Union.

Sign up for Mock Interview day begins Monday, March 4, and students may register by visiting the Career Services office in Room 130 of the Administration Building.
