We thank you for your support and look forward to working with you!
Senior Reception Highlights!!!!
The September 18th Senior Reception was a huge success. Seventy-one employers used this event to kick-off their 2008-09 recruitment season (this is a 13% increase over last fall). More than 388 Fox graduating seniors participated. Both employers and students had rave reviews about the day.
Here's what employers had to say...
“I was extremely impressed with the professional demeanor of the students and their knowledge of Comcast. The majority of them were very prepared to discuss Comcast with us and let us know that they know more about Comcast than just cable! I thought the venue was great and the “informal” cocktail reception approach made it a little less intimidating for the students. I was a great event!”
Comcast Corporation
The students definitely seem more prepared than other schools in regards to the position they wanted and what we offered, which is great. Overall, it was FANTASTIC! Thank you!”
Cigna
“As an employee, recruiting college grads I would never miss this event. Students are professional, prepared and this event always proves to be a good use of our recruiting time- we find great candidates”

"I recently attended the Senior Reception and was quite impressed with the professionalism and preparedness of our Senior Accounting Majors. The Reception provided our students with a formal yet somewhat relaxed setting to learn about the opportunities currently available to them within the accounting profession and corporate training programs. Congratulations to the CSPD!"

How can faculty connect with CSPD?
Scheduling a classroom visit
CSPD staff are interested in coming to your classes to speak about our services as well as internship and job opportunities. Please contact the CSPD director, Corinne Snell for more information.
Encouraging students to report their job offers
As you know, collecting data on our students’ postgraduate plans is important to the Fox School. You can assist in this endeavor by encouraging your graduating seniors to report their job offer. We are also interested in where our underclassmen are interning.
The data collected will be used to generate reports on the job market, hiring trends, salary information, career interests of our students/graduates, etc. The purpose of these reports is to assist current students doing career research, to aid in the University rankings process and to attract prospective students by showing them the value of the Fox Business degree.
Please direct your students to 134 Alter Hall or to the link below:

Additionally, you may have relationships with employers who would be interested in connecting with Fox students for internship and/or job opportunities.
