MSU continues Virtual Career and Internship Fairs this month
Morehead State University’s Office of Career Services is hosting a series of major and industry-specific career and internship fairs for spring 2021 for our students and alumni. Students first capitalized on this opportunity with the Healthcare Career & Internship Fair held last month, and an additional six virtual career and internship fairs will take place in March.
"The virtual environment has allowed us to offer smaller, more focused career and internship fairs organized by career clusters. This approach allows students, employers and graduate schools to connect and explore opportunities that are a better match to one's specific interests," said Megan Boone, director of the Office of Career Services. "That said, many of these organizations consider students of all majors, so don't necessarily limit yourself to one fair. We hope you will take advantage."
