PCToday Photo Gallery - Spring 2006 'Career' Events (March 21)

[Photo Gallery Archives]

Pennsylvania College of Technology hosted two key job-related events Tuesday: a morning "Career Fair" at the Schneebeli Earth Science Center, which attracted more than 50 companies hiring for professions represented by the School of Natural Resources Management; and Counseling, Career and Disability Services' "Spring Career Expo," at which more than 100 employers filled the floor of the Field House and the ATHS lobby with tantalizing opportunities for tomorrow's graduates. Employers at both events brought along a "blue-ribbon" contingent of knowledgeable college alumni. Many of the firms represented are scholarship or equipment donors; a number also are represented on advisory committees within the college's eight academic schools.
