  • If you plan to participate (or are even just considering participation) in Co-op Days, please provide me with a copy of your resume and let me know that you plan to do so, so that I can relay to employers how many students we have interested.
  • Stay tuned for additional information going forward on signing up for interviews, as some will be handled within our office/on our website and others may be handled directly via the career fair conversations.
  • We have more than 20 employers seeking co-op students at this time, so this is a wonderful opportunity to jump-start your career!

Let me know if you have any questions.  I’m happy to meet this week (in-person or Zoom) to answer any questions you may have!  I want you to leave campus this fall armed with as much information as possible about the co-op program and process as well as the opportunities to both check it out and get involved!
