This is the first annual CSU veterinary career fair. It will provide an excellent opportunity to connect with students and alumni to discuss or interview for current and/or future career-related employment and to promote summer and preceptorship/externship opportunities. Last November we hosted a mini-fair as a pilot and decided to move forward with a large annual event, based on positive feedback from employers and students
With over 500 students in our PVM program, we have an excellent pool of students available for full-time employment, summer work, externships and preceptorships. In May over 120 senior PVM students will graduate.
Note: If you are currently participating in a CSU veterinary mentor program or are in our database of preceptorships, you will be eligible for a 20% discount on your registration fee.
Early registration is encouraged for maximum publicity to PVM students and alumni. Registration Deadline: Friday, January 25, 2008
Cancellation notification is appreciated so we may inform students. Refund of the registration fee less a $10 processing fee will be given for cancellations received by January 25, 2008. There is no refund of the registration fee after January 25, 2008.
Beginning early December, a link to participating employers will appear on the Career Fair website. The details will include your organization name, website link, type of positions available and a brief profile. Beginning in December, extensive advertising begins to current classes in the way of posters, flyers, e-mail messages and classroom announcements. Alumni will be notified through the career services alumni listserv and through the DVM alumni class agents.
