College of Agriculture Career Fair
The College of Agriculture hosts a career fair every fall and spring semester. Over 150 companies typically attend the fall career fair, providing students and alumni with the opportunity to learn about their organizations, submit resumes and interview for permanent or internship positions.
Freshmen and sophomore students are welcome to join upper-level students at the career fairs because they are encouraged to explore careers and learn the art of professional conversations very early.
