The EWU Career Center worked with thousands of students this year, helping them develop skills and build connections to land internships and jobs in their fields.
The center brought together students, alumni, faculty, staff and employers dedicated to supporting the longterm success of Eastern students.
This Eagle-community collaboration gave the center the bandwidth to host its first in-person FUSE Career Fair in two years; partner with the EWU Food Pantry to provide workshop attendees with 180 basic necessity bags; welcome Boeing for the first ever on-campus recruitment visit; connect students with employer worksite networking sessions and offer the first alumni supported LindedIn workshop series.
