Network, Network, Network!: Recapping our Fall Career Fair

On Thursday September 29th, Dominican held its annual Fall Career Fair featuring 30 employers across a wide variety of industries, including Business, Education, STEM, Healthcare, IT (Information Technology) and more! We hosted many amazing employers, including Paylocity, Publicis Media, The Chicago Cubs, IDHS, and Tyson. We want to thank all of our employer partners for joining us, especially our sponsors: Paylocity, Guggenheim Partners, and genesisOne. We couldn’t run this event without your support!

Students across all majors had the opportunity to meet with employers and network. Lesly Salguero, an Accounting and Finance major, reflected on the fair and noted, “My favorite part of the career fair definitely has to be meeting professionals and connecting with them. As students, I think that networking is one of the most important things we can do because it gives us a glimpse of what our future can look like and allows us to meet individuals who can help us get to our intended careers.”

The Career Fair was hosted in the Social Hall with employer tables set up in rows, which allowed students to walk up to organizations of interest and discuss the opportunities available. The event inspired incredible energy and excitement, with nearly 300 students in attendance.

We want to extend a thank you to all of the students and employers that attended the far. Students, we hope you will continue to build your network and continue these amazing conversations!
