At this event, students were able to also discover the new and improved resources in Reynolds Hall that were designed to strengthen their academic achievements and accelerate their professional success.  

Not only did students have the option to engage with employers, and faculty and staff within Reynolds Hall, but they could also pick up a physical passport to indicate the people and services they visited. 

Students enjoyed food, games, and prizes for "visiting" different booths, including two Apple watches!

Congrats to the two students who visited the most employers and business spaces, Jarell Rimando and Kara Topping. 

Rimando is a freshman studying accounting and Topping is a junior studying economics. 

"It was a great opportunity to talk to potential employers," Topping said. "I went to the event with the idea of learning about businesses and companies I could potentially work for in mind. I never thought I would win, so that was a really nice surprise. I was very excited and I wear my watch every day."

No matter what you get out of an event – resume tips, public speaking skills, lessons on staying organized, a job opportunity or a physical prize – it is always worth stepping out of your comfort zone and learning something new.
