Career Preparation Day

Feb 3, 2009

Seven WIU alums joined forces to present a very successful Department of Communication Career Preparation Day on Tuesday, February 3rd. Over 140 communication majors and minors met at the University Union to learn about interviewing, networking, job seeking, and transitioning from college student to full-time employee. Because of a generous donation from communication alumnus, Bill Paulding, all attendees were treated to a midday lunch and keynote address by speaker Bruce Western, recruiter from McDonough District Hospital. Special thanks and congratulations for a job well done to the committee members: Cindy Ridle, Stacey Macchi, Mary Hogg, and John Miller.
