With much of the country on lockdown and the economy heading towards a recession, many graduating seniors feel they are entering the workforce at an inopportune time.

Construction is underway in the Danforth University Center to develop a new office for the vice chancellor for students, Lori White, and to create additional study spaces available to students and the Career Center.

Today marks the first day of the Career Center’s Fall Career Fair: a now two-day event that will feature 130 employers. Despite all these options, students who are studying something other than business, engineering, science or math may be hard-pressed to find more than a handful of opportunities that align with their interests.

The Danforth Campus will be suited up for two days as over 130 employers attend the Fall Career Fair, which will take place on both Sept. 17 and 18 at the Mallinckrodt Center.
