Concordia hosted the tenth annual Career and Graduate Fair Feb. 23. The event was a collaboration between Concordia’s career services and the Students In Free Enterprise (SIFE) organization. Almost 40 vendors and over 140 students participated in this year’s fair.

“The Career and Graduate Fair was an overall success. We facilitated twice as many students and almost three times as many vendors for this year’s fair than we have previously,” said Corey Gray, Concordia’s career counselor.

“We have received very positive feedback from vendors,” Gray added. “Even for the students who are not looking to stay in the area, the fair was a great way to gain exposure, expand networks and get valuable experience communicating with professionals from various industries.” 

Gray hopes to continue to expand the event for next year.
