Dear Colleagues — On April 12, a record-breaking 866 students and alumni, 66 companies, and 156 company representatives participated in the in-person Spring Career Fair—the best attended fair since at least 2017. I'm pleased to share with you a few photos from the event and positive feedback from several participants.
— Joyce, School of Engineering — The ambassadors/recruiters were very kind and easy to talk to. Furthermore, I felt well prepared because of the preparation session. Editor's Note: The Career Center hosted a "mock career fair" event on Monday, April 10. Ariana, College of Arts & Sciences — The event was well organized. There was a lot of staff to help guide me through the campus, registration, setup and tear down. The staff including Security was super friendly. The provided lunch was delicious. Most importantly, the turnout was great. Plug And Play
The Career Fair was also highlighted in The Santa Clara in a recent article by student Mitchell Heckman. In this article, I discuss why career fairs are a core part of the Career Center's strategy for helping students network and succeed in today's competitive job market.

The Career Center is excited to host a panel discussion with seven members of the Board of Regents. This panel discussion is an opportunity for the Regents—all of whom are also alumni—to share with students their advice on finding and making the most of a summer internship or job.

On Friday, April 21, the SCU Career Center hosted members of the Mountain Pacific Association of Colleges and Employers (MPACE) for a "career center trek" in partnership with San Jose State University.
Career services professionals from CSU Sacramento, CSU Stanislaus, Mount Saint Mary's University, Saint Mary's College, San Jose State University, UC Berkeley, and UC Santa Cruz visited our campus to learn more about our approach to career services and professional development. A special thank you to Andrew Gupton, Noel Kreidler, and Vania Tong for helping to deliver an engaging and informative presentation to this group, and to Amanuel Bizuneh, Myriam Bartz, and Shellie Barber for representing SCU at SJSU. ◾ ◾ ◾ ◾ ◾ ◾ ◾ ◾ ◾ ◾ ◾ ◾ ◾ ◾ Career Success Spotlight: Jia Seow
With graduation just around the corner, I'd like to highlight one of the services we offer: the Recent Grad Job Search Group, led by Myriam Bartz, Assistant Director of Graduate Students and Alumni. First piloted in fall 2022, the Career Center is already on its third cohort and a fourth one is planned for August. One participant, Jia Seow '22, credits this group with helping her find career success after graduation.
Jia Seow '22 "The strengths assessment and interview practice were the most helpful parts of the [Recent Grad Job Search] program. I learned how to tell people about myself, as well as position myself as a good fit for every role I interviewed for." Jia secured a position as Data Steward and Survey Coordinator at Santa Clara University. ◾ ◾ ◾ ◾ ◾ ◾ ◾ ◾ ◾ ◾ ◾ ◾ ◾ ◾ ◾ Chris Harris to Pursue New Opportunity
