Internship fair could help students gain experience
Students can help further their careers tomorrow at an internship open house.
Representatives from eight companies, including Spring and Philip Morris, will be accepting resumes and handing out information about internships.
In tough economic times, students must find internships to stay competitive, said Mary Andrade Carlson, assistant director of University Career and Employment Services and an organizer of the event.
"Employers have the opportunity to be more choosy with their candidates," she said. "They're really looking for candidates who have those experiences."
The open house will feature a panel of two students and one former student who will speak about their internship experiences. Students also can attend a workshop on designing and pitching their own internships.
Career Services and AIESEC are co-sponsors of the event.
The open house will take place 3 to 5:30 p.m. in the Burge Union. The event is free.

Harvard cancels speaker after incendiary comment
BOSTON (AP) — After student complaints, Harvard University said yesterday it had canceled a reading by an Irish poet who compared U.S.-born settlers in the West Bank to Nazis and said they should be "shot dead."
