Career Fair connects students with jobs, internships
As a graduate of Valparaiso University who met his wife here, Tim Stellfox ’84, now a region manager for Valvoline, is always eager to return to the campus to recruit new employees.
“I appreciate the quality of the students, and the university itself, and know how well prepared the students are,” said Stellfox. “When I had the opportunity to do interviews for new hires, one of the places I first wanted to come to was Valpo.”
Valparaiso University’s Career Center hosted its annual Fall Career Fair on Oct.7, allowing employers to connect with Valpo students eager to find work and/or an internship.
“I just wanted to experience the fair and see what different opportunities are out there in the different fields of nursing,” said Nicole Sanhamel, a junior nursing major.
“The Career Fair has been great to me,” said Taylor Deloye, a junior marketing major. “I am trying to branch out and do a little bit of networking and see what is our there for me.”
Tom Cath, director of the Career Center, said that the more nearly 600 students who attended the fair were able to make connections that could lead to future employment.
“This is an opportunity for the students to learn more about what they might want to do,” said Cath. “The fair also allows employers visibility here on campus to find the bright young talent they can find here at Valpo.”
