Career services held its annual picnic Wednesday to welcome students back to campus.

Students were given free T-shirts, hot dogs and asked to “like” career services on Facebook.

To raise awareness on their relocation to Ronan Hall, the picnic was held in front of both the Bovee University Center and Ronan Hall. Career services also hosted the picnic to build awareness about the resources they provide, encouraging students to get engaged early.

“Career development is something that just doesn’t happen senior year,” said Director of Career Services Julia Sherlock. “We offer on-campus interviews and other activities to prepare your professional self before senior year.”

Although freshmen have a few years before they graduate, she said students should begin visiting career services now to discuss majors and minors.

“I used career services because currently I am undecided and I plan on visiting them in the future,” said freshman Rachel Hyso.

While some upperclassmen have already used many resources in career services, the picnic informs them of the relocation.

“In the past I used career services for mock interviews and reviewing my resume,” junior Erica Blount said. “Today I learned about their new location and when M.A.J.O.R. night will be.”

Along with the career services staff, academic advisors were also at the picnic.

For more information on career services, students can schedule appointments or visit during walk-in hours for resume critiques Tuesday through Friday from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. and Monday through Thursday from 1:30 to 4.pm.
