Less than a year after its formation, Wilmington University’s College of Sciences and Engineering hosted its inaugural Career Fair on Oct. 20, bringing more than 75 students together with employers representing a wide range of STEM-related fields. Held at Varsalona Hall on the Brandywine Campus, the event gave students opportunities to explore careers, learn about internships and make valuable professional connections.
Participating organizations included Agilent, AirJoule, Aternium, the City of Dover’s Public Works division, Delaware INBRE, the Delaware NASA Space Grant Consortium, Romer Labs, Thomas Jefferson University’s Sidney Kimmel Medical College, WilmU’s Health Sciences division, WSFS, and Verdantas.
The Career Fair was more than six months in the making, with faculty and staff contributing to its success. College of Sciences and Engineering Dean Dr. Milton Muldrow delivered opening remarks, followed by Dr. Diane Bansbach, director and chair of the Mathematics program, who expressed her appreciation to everyone involved in organizing the event.
The Career Services Department also played an important role, with Assistant Director Kim Plusch providing résumé reviews and interview tips to help students prepare for future opportunities. University leadership members attended in support of the college and its efforts to connect classroom learning with professional opportunities.
The inaugural Career Fair marks another step in the College of Sciences and Engineering’s growth, with more exciting events planned to help students explore their interests and prepare for careers in STEM fields.
