Career Fair

    Chair: Craig Johnson

            The Career Fair committee is responsible for preparing our career fair.   Each spring semester, the Association hosts a career fair where perspective employers from local, state, and federal governments come to give information about themselves.   Students are able to make face to face contact, ask questions, and sometimes fill out applications for future jobs or internships.  This is a great opportunity for Juniors and especially graduating seniors to find a job.

Community Service

   Co-Chairs: Scott Cariss and Colleen McCauley-Cook

            The Community Service committee arranges for activities for Association members to participate in.  Since each member must participate in a community service project each semester to be active, members are usually busy.  Some prior events include painting windows during the holidays at local nursing homes, the MS Walk, Special Olympics, Adopt-a-Highway, and many more.
