In the afternoon, the Job and Internship Fair will welcome close to 100 employers from a wide range of industries, including but not limited to technology, agriculture, business, manufacturing, hospitality and state departments who will be recruiting students and alumni from all academic majors.

Several employers will be at ECU on Thursday for on-campus interviews with prospective candidates from these events.
