We encourage students to register with Career and Internship Services as soon as they begin classes.  Your file should be updated each academic year.  If you register early you will be familiar with all placement and career services, and have a current resume to help you search for summer, part-time, internship or full-time opportunities.  You can also talk with employers at our job  fairs.
