When I received an email from the Career Development Center (CDC) for the Job and Internship Fair, I was excited, but when I saw the list of companies attending the fair I was nervous. The registered companies included names like Coca-Cola, Nestlé, Target, Verizon Wireless, Diesel, Mohegan Sun and many more. I wondered how to [...]

For starters, there was a two person discussion between former Congressmen Mickey Edwards who now serves as [...]
