Students of the College of Arts and Sciences will get the opportunity to make their degrees more marketable to outside industries at the Mock Career Fair this evening.

Employers such as the City of Pullman, Schweitzer Engineering Labs and Pullman Regional Hospital will be present at the Mock Career Fair to practice interviews with students, said Arlene Parkay, academic coordinator in the College of Arts and Sciences.

“Students can learn how to better market themselves with real employers,” said Parkay. “It’s a practice, but some are looking to hire.”

Completing summer’s checklist

ASWSU president reviews 107-Day Plan

With five days left before the start of fall classes, Associated Students of Washington State University President Taylor Hennessey has checked off almost all of the 29 items on the student government’s summer to-do list.

Hennessey, a fifth-year senior political science major, said the list is called the 107-Day Plan and was inspired by former President Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal and his First 100 Days plan. The number of days in ASWSU’s plan derives from the time between Hennessey’s and ASWSU Vice President Kevin Massimino’s taking office and the first day of classes.
