Spring Semester Updates and the Internship Fair


Welcome back iChoose members! We hope you are all ready for an exciting and productive spring semester! Now is the time to start searching for and securing summer internships and iChoose will be here to help you through your journey. Below is the schedule for this spring's monthly iChoose meetings so be sure to block off these times on your calendars! 


So how should you begin your semester? With the internship fair of course! This year's internship fair is on Tuesday, February 7th from 2:00-5:00pm in Knight Auditorium. It is an invaluable opporunity to network with some very exciting companies including Addidas, pWc, Enterprise, Vistaprint, Staples,  Comcast, Boston Scientific, Hanover Insurance, BNY Mellon, FTI Consulting, and many more! Discover what opportunities are out there and, as always, dress to impress. Even if you are not interested in these particular companies, already have a job or internship, or are not searching at the time, this event provides a fantastic opportunity to practice marketing yourself, building your confidence, and see what employers are looking for in a candidate. This is one event that you will regret missing.

If you're worried about preparing for the internship fair, have no fear! The Undergraduate Center for Career Development has your back. CCD will be hosting an Intern Kick-Off Conference. Read the information below (you can enlarge the picture by clicking on it). Simply choose 2 of the 3 concurrent sessions on either Tuesday, January 31st or Friday, February 2nd. These sessions will arm you with the discussion topics you need to engage employers and enhance your internship search.


We hope to see you all (or at least drop by) at our February iChoose meeting at 6pm, February 7th in Global Lounge. We will be discussing the internship fair, your experiences, what subsequent steps to take, and how to ace an interview!
