Events Undergraduate Career Fair On April 16-17th, The Career Development Center hosted a virtual career expo for undergraduates exploring future internship placements, graduate schools and jobs. The event held 26 virtual zoom room meetings where students were given the opportunity to talk with companies about future opportunities. 78 students attended the event and had the opportunity to show their resumes, network with professionals and ask questions about specific companies they are interested in. Each zoom breakout room had a link for the students to sit with the company for a half hour and then were given the opportunity for a Q &A afterwards. Prior to the virtual career expo, The Career Development Center offered students an opportunity to join in on an informational zoom session. The topic was “12 ways to make the most out of Virtual Career Fair�. Many students joined in on this informational zoom session to become prepared for the upcoming career expo!

Read Across American Day Read Across America Day, also known as Dr. Seuss Day, is a yearly observance in the USA across schools. It is held on the school day that is closest to Dr. Seuss's birthday, March 2. Dr. Seuss Day is focused on motivating children to read as it improves their performance in school. On this day, schools celebrate in a variety of different ways. Dr. Cerrito was invited to participate in events at State Street Elementary Center in the Wyoming Valley West School District by University of Scranton 2016 School Counseling Program graduate, Santina Wesolowski Prociak. The theme for Dr. Seuss Day was centered around child career development with a nod to the book, Oh the Places You'll Go! Dr. Cerrito is pictured with a first grade classroom reading the book, "What Shoes Will You Wear" where she talked about preparing and dreaming about a future career and the many different job opportunities that exist along with the specific kinds of shoes needed for those jobs!
