Career Services Update - week of October 28,
2002!
Thanks
to all who participated in this fall's Career Fair. Employers were
happy to meet so many well-prepared, intelligent and well-mannered
students! They really appreciated meeting with faculty and staff
members and especially enjoyed the food (thanks to Dan Roy and
Co.!). Special thanks to
Tucker Hoffman, Ryan White,
Will Rouse, and Darcy Thomas for helping
assist the participants! We are already starting to think of
ways to improve the spring career fair - send us your ideas!
Congratulations to Scott Cayouette and Martin
Cummings, winners of tickets to the Nov 4 wrestling
extravaganza in Bangor, courtesy of Clear Channel Communications.
Laura Soule was the big winner, however, and will
receive a $250 gift certificate to the Thomas College Bookstore. Thank
you Clear Channel and Mr. Mike!
Our plan to revitalize the
Alumni Career Network
seems to be part of a national trend! According to the Eastern
Association of Colleges and Employers (EACE), more alumni than ever
are serving as a resource for job placement and programming.
At the same time, alums are looking to their college Career
Services Offices in record numbers for support and assistance during
these tough economic times - a 60% increase in the past year alone!
