More than fifty area employers and nationally acclaimed companies converged on the ORU campus Oct. 6 for the fall 2005 Career Expo. Students and alumni had the chance to speak with recruiters about careers and internships.
This career expo drew more companies and students than in previous years. "This was absolutely a success with the largest turnout and participation. We received very good feedback from a survey employers were asked to complete after the expo," said John Brown, director of the College and Career Guidance Center.
The companies showcased themselves with eye-catching slideshow presentations and displays. ORU student Nate Perry voiced how the expo attracts students from all departments on campus. "There is a good variety of companies, and different career paths available to look at," said Perry. Many of the exhibitors were ORU alumni.
The annual expo helps students meet face-to-face with representatives from a large variety of companies--without spending gas money. Current students may also learn of internships and narrow down which businesses might be a good fit for careers after graduation.
The organizations who attended included Penloyd, Coldwell Banker, Tulsa Public Schools, City of Tulsa, Dish Network, Bios Corporation, and others. Donna Bratschun of the College and Career Guidance Center stated that they will soon begin planning for the next career expo, which will occur in the spring of 2006.
