Annual Career Fair At Full Capacity, Full of Opportunities

recruit Stockton University students on Tuesday, March 5.
Galloway, N.J. – Just as the campus continues to grow, so does annual programming like the Career and Internship Fair, which surpassed its goal of serving over 600 students and housing over 100 employers
on Tuesday, March 5, in the Sports Center.
Employers came, ready and eager to meet Stockton University students and find new
members of their teams, while students dressed to impress with resumes in hand.
Frank Napp ’23, a recruiter for Live! Casino and Hotel, said his job search included
attending the Career Fair and looking online when he first graduated from Stockton’s Business program. He eventually found Live’s Management Development program, where he was able
to explore different departments to find one that worked best for him. Now, he gets
to be on the other side of the table.
“We’re looking for a graduating senior in any area of interest — whether that’s marketing,
finance or HR — who will go through the rotation that I’m currently going through,”
Napp said. “I hope to recruit another Stockton student like me.”
He may have found one. Melanie Olivia, a Hospitality major who plans to graduate in May, is currently looking for a full-time position.
She said Live! was one of the organizations she was interested in pursuing.
New Beginnings in Career Education & Development

and collecting words of wisdom from current students on Nov. 8.
Galloway, N.J. – Your future begins here.
That is the message students see as they walk along the hallway in the Campus Center
toward the Office of Career Education and Development (CED) and the brand-new Career Success Studio.
Sofia Abreu, director of the office, and others gave short remarks before cutting
the ribbon for the new space on Wednesday, Nov. 8. After expressing her gratitude
to the CED team and Facilities Operations, she explained her vision for the studio
to the crowd.
“As we move forward, I eagerly anticipate collaborating with our campus partners to
further expand career development opportunities across Stockton University. Our vision
for the Career Success Studio is to create an inviting, inclusive space that caters
to students at all stages of their career development journey,” Abreu said.
The space is expected to be multipurpose – students can use it for meetings or interviews,
find various job postings, or even attend workshops hosted by the CED. Ultimately,
how the space will be used will be up to the campus community and their needs while
they explore career paths.
Christopher Catching, vice president for Student Affairs, encouraged students to check out the new space and to use the services that the
CED office provides throughout their time at Stockton.
“This is a tremendous, tremendous resource, and we’re glad to have it,” Catching said.
“I would encourage students to use career education development and learn about their
career from the time that they start here. It’s not a place that you come to in the
11th hour during your senior year, but a place to continuously come in and use, where
you get to know the team and engage in activities that are going to support your professional
development.”
