Career Fair Info

Hello Students and Faculty!

Our annual Merrill College Career Fair is taking shape and I'm happy to announce the list of recruiters and events for this year. 

Note: Two recruiters will be conducting interviews with best prospects BEFORE the fair begins, so I will be accepting resumes for interviews with Sinclair Broadcast Group and its digital arm, Circa, as well as for those applying for internships with The Wall Street Journal. I will have a separate email with details on applications for those interviews. (More information about the CNN/Turner Broadcasting interviews/information session on Oct. 25 will also be coming soon.)
