The event, which will be held from 11:30 a.m.-2 p.m. in the Chalmers Conference Center of the Scott M. Niswonger Commons, will also give students and alumni who are interested in pursuing graduate-level degrees the ability to discuss options with higher education institution representatives.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is an excellent way for our students and alumni who are exploring their next professional and academic steps to engage with members of these organizations to determine whether there might be a mutual fit,\u201d said Robin Lay, Tusculum\u2019s director of career services. \u201cOur students and alumni bring a lot of talent to the table, and they will benefit from speaking with a large number of excellent organizations that could put them on the path to long-term success.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tusculum has secured the presence of 46 organizations for the event. These include some of the larger companies in the region, such as Food City, Ballad Health, Covenant Health, Vanderbilt Mortgage and Finance Inc., 21st Mortgage Corp. and SumiRiko Tennessee Inc., as well as K-12 school systems. Among the others on the roster are smaller organizations such as Holston Home for Children, Helen Ross McNabb Center, the Greeneville Reds, Foxfire Mountain Adventure Park and Youth Villages.<\/p>\n
In addition to Tusculum, higher education institutions that will be present are Lincoln Memorial University, King University and Milligan College.<\/p>\n
Students and alumni seeking a job or an internship in the next year should be prepared for a brief screening interview and should dress professionally and bring multiple copies of their resume. Students in earlier years of study can use the fair as an opportunity to network with these employers and learn more about what skills they might need to secure a job or an internship. Those who are looking at graduate school options will be able to learn more about these institutions\u2019 offerings through the fair.<\/p>\n
