Career Fair Update (RK)
As of today, we have 32 employers and 212 students signed up to participate.
We have partnered with Dress for Success Austin to offer a limited number of styling appointments for students who need professional attire for the Career Fair.
For students who cannot get an appointment, RK has also promoted UT Outpost as a resource for professional attire.
RK will offer a Career Fair prep session one week prior to the event on September 17th during Tocker Tuesday.
A colleague at City of Austin will join RK for the session in order to share the employer perspective on employer expectations for the event.
Email list refresh (DJK)
DJK will be updating names of the iSchool’s UTLists to make the purpose of each list more clear. DJK will update the wiki and send out the new list names.
