UMaine Career Fair Featured on WLBZ
WLBZ (Channel 2) covered the University of Maine Career Center’s 17th annual UMaine Career Fair at the New Balance Student Recreation Center. About 120 employers from Maine and around the country with job and internship opportunities exhibited at the fair. Several graduate and professional schools, as well as branches of the military, also were represented at the event. “It’s really rewarding to be able to come back to your alma mater and be on the other side of the table and help students just like yourself identify if it’s the right opportunity for them, and figuring out what they want to do, and being in a position to provide them that opportunity,” said Nathan Kinney, a 2012 UMaine graduate who is now a small business manager for Key Bank. Patty Counihan, director of the Career Center, said about 800 students attended the fair.
