Center for Strategic Advising & Career Counseling Blog

The Fall 2011 semester kicks off in less than one week. We know our new and returning UGS students are excited to be on the Forty Acres.

We also know that you are busy moving in to your new residence, roaming around campus, and buying textbooks. But what about searching for an internship?

Before classes start next week, Campus2Careers is hosting a FREE internship fair for students on Saturday, August 20th from 1-4 pm in the AT&T Conference Center. Check out additional information on the InternInAustin program and RSVP.
