The Rotary Club of Galveston and Galveston College have partnered to present the 2019 Career Fair and Transfer Day on Wednesday, March 20, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in Moody Hall, Regents Hall and the Mary Moody Northen Center Atrium on the Galveston College campus.

“Navigating Toward the Future” is the theme of this year’s event, which is open to students, alumni and the general public.

The Career Fair and Transfer Day allows candidates, employers and university representatives to communicate on a personal and face-to-face basis. It also provides opportunities for students to connect with potential employers and discover career information regarding summer or permanent, full-time positions.

Career and Transfer Day participants will have opportunities to complete applications for employment or admissions. Employers also welcome candidates with resumes.

“This annual event is a great opportunity for Galveston College students to practice their soft skills as they enter into their respective career fields and learn about the various four year transfer institutions in the Gulf Coast area,” said Dr. LaToya Mills-Thomas with the Galveston College Career Services and Student Success Center. “In addition, every year there is always a handful of students who leave our intimate career fair with gainful employment. This is the icing on the cake.”

Employers, universities and colleges that would like to register to participate can contact Dr. Mills-Thomas at (409) 944-1221 or [email protected].
