What is this fair? This one is all about helping you find opportunities for student jobs and internships with MSU departments. Since on campus activities were very limited for the past year, MSU departments did not employ very many students. Plans for Fall semester for a return to campus are under way and many MSU departments will need to hire/re-hire students! (Did you know that pre-Pandemic, MSU typically issued paychecks to more than 17,000 a year?)

This new jobs fair will include thousands of student work opportunities with the Residential & Hospitality Services departments along with a handful of other popular on-campus student employers:

· Forest Akers golf courses (for summer/fall work!)

· Sparty’s and Starbucks (on campus retail)

· Residential Housing support staff (opportunities in residence halls/MSU apartments)

· Culinary Services (dining halls and food services across campus)

· Kellogg Conference Center and Hotel

· Breslin Center (concessions and more)

· MSU Union (operations, restaurants, retail)

· University Activities Board

· Recreation Sports & Fitness (IM building operations)

· Impact 89FM (student run radio station)

· Libraries (participation to be determined)

More MSU departments may join this student jobs fair, so check back often to sign up for more Sessions with employers!

Where is the fair? The fair is held virtually from within Handshake. Use Firefox or Chrome.

Who can attend? The event is open to all MSU students, across all majors.

How can I prepare? Research the MSU departments participating. Know what kinds of opportunities they offer and review their website.

Virtual Dress Code: Even though this is a virtual event, it is appropriate to be dressed “up” for the event. A suit and tie are definitely too much, a polo shirt, sweater, blouse, etc. would be appropriate.
