EMPLOYERS HIRING AT THE SEC/ACC CAREER FAIR 

By Stuart Esrock, Ph.D.

UofL will be joining twenty-eight other SEC and ACC schools on April 6, 9:00 am to 6:00 pm, for the biggest career fair of the semester! Currently, 118 employers are registered to participate in the virtual event.  The director of the University Career Center, Bill Fletcher, is excited about the quality and diversity of employers. Fletcher said, "This event provides our students with access to many recruiters who may not normally recruit on campus."
