CAREER SERVICES TO HOLD ANNUAL FAIR;
EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES ABOUND

LINCOLN UNIVERSITY, PA ~ The Office of Career Services of Development and External Relations at Lincoln University will hold its annual Career Fair on Thursday, March 13 in Manuel Rivero Hall.

According to Ralph Simpson, director of Career Services, the Career Fair is an event that provides students as well as other internal and external constituents of the university the opportunity to interact with key individuals from business and industry, education and government.

“This is an invaluable occasion to network and find employment,” Simpson said. “I especially encourage our seniors to take advantage of this opportunity, and they should come with résumé in hand as they have visited the websites of those companies they regard as top choices for employment.”

Simpson said the Career Fair traditionally has attracted over 75 participants representing school districts, higher education, federal agencies and Fortune 500 companies.

“Anyone interested in employment can’t afford to miss this opportunity,” Simpson said.

The Career Fair is free and also open to Lincoln University students, faculty, staff and graduates. For more information, call 484-365-7102.
