CAREER SERVICES AND PLACEMENT



The Programming Assistants went door to door with the list that was provided to us to handout the Career Passport booklet to undergraduate students living in UA. The residents were pleased to get the information, although some of them had the booklet already via another event. Overall though, it was well received. Thoughts for future events of this nature, 1) double check the accuracy of the list and 2) try to determine if a non-UARL event has previously taken place where the info was distributed.
