DCP Career Fair brings alums back to campus
Employers attending DCP’s second annual Career Fair were impressed with the quality of students and are now interviewing several candidates for internships and positions within their firms. Some of the firm representatives were hired at last year’s career fair, and this year, they were sitting on the other side of the table, recruiting for their firm.

Rinker School Career Fair continues to be a success
On Feb. 10, the Rinker School held its 32nd Career Fair, attracting more than 100 employers to the O’Connell Center. Employers traveled from across the country to hire Rinker School students and graduates for internships and full-time positions. The Career Fair was a great way for the school to kick off its 80th anniversary.

| IND student selected to participate in EDRA Conference |
|
Last fall, Adriana Perez-Leyva, junior interior design student, was in studio working on a project when her professors, Nichole Campbell, IND Assistant Professor, and Jason Meneely, IND Associate Professor, selected her to submit an abstract of her project to EDRA, the Environmental Design Research Association. The abstract submission, a research-based design poster, would be considered to be one of the national conference poster presentations. The conference is usually only open exclusively to faculty and graduate students. However, in January Perez-Leyva found out that her abstract was accepted by EDRA and will be part of the Graduate Student Workshop. Alumni News |
