This is an exclusive event for Marshall University students, alumni, faculty and staff only.\u202f\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAt the inaugural event, our students saved over $7,000 and walked away with great business attire,\u201d said Jennifer Brown, assistant director for student engagement and marketing for the Office of Career Education. \u201cWe chose this date because it\u2019s right before the Career Fair on campus. Confidence is key when networking or conducting a job interview. We are proud to partner with JCPenney and help students dress for success.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Next week, Marshall\u2019s Office of Career Education will host a Career Fair, planned for noon to 5 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 4, at the Rec Center on the Huntington campus.\u00a0 135 companies will be on campus to hire for internships and full-time positions. The office also is hosting an Etiquette Dinner from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 17, in the Don Morris Room of the Memorial Student Center.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cRecognizing that career development is a lifelong process, the mission of the Office of Career Education is to educate and support students as they explore and further understand themselves and career options, gain valuable experience, develop as professionals and launch their post-graduation career plans,\u201d Brown said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
