Career Services is extending a helping hand to students looking to secure a job before graduation.
The department will host its annual Career Expo today and tomorrow in the Cotillion Ballroom in the Student Union.
The ballroom will be open both days from 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
There will also be a networking reception for the College of Engineering tonight from 6 to 8 p.m. in the Lod Cook Alumni Center.
According to a University Relations news release, today’s expo will be dedicated to business, liberal arts and graduate school, and tomorrow’s will focus on engineering, science and technology.
The release said more than 160 national companies, along with several graduate schools, will be represented at the event.
Advocates from each business will share information with students and recruit them for full-time and part-time jobs, as well as internships.
Students can familiarize themselves with the companies by viewing the participant database at careercenter.lsu.edu. There are also preparation tips and videos available on the site.
The expo and reception are both free and open to all students, alumni, faculty and staff, as well as organizations that register ahead of time.
Participants are typically encouraged to wear business professional attire.
