Six Events Designed To Make March 27 Career Expo a Slam Dunk
Students can brush-up their resumes and their 30-second elevator pitches at special events to help them prepare for the Career Expo on March 27."Career Madness" is the theme for the Spring 2025 Career Expo presented by The University of Scranton's Roche Family Center for Career Development. Students are invited to attend up to six preparation events prior to the Career Expo on Thursday, March 27, from noon to 3 p.m. in the Byron Center. The preparation events will help students put their best foot forward at the Expo.
"All students, all majors, all class years are encouraged to attend," said Rose Jacklinski, career relations manager, Center for Career Development. "It's never too early to start building those professional skills."
Pre-Expo Pro Tips
Jacklinski suggests a pre-expo checklist for students.

- Dress for success. Remember the Center for Career Development's professional clothing closet, Royal Threads.
