The turnout for the Alva Area Wide College Fair that was held Sept. 2 was positive, organizer said.
Director of Recruitment Paige Fischer said that the fair was a success. Seniors from six local high schools attended, coming to Northwestern’s campus to browse the college information booths. There were representatives from numerous colleges across the state.
In other news from the recruitment office, two new people have been hired. Career Services Coordinator/ Transfer Recruiter Jennifer Grassano attended Texas State University and graduated with a degree in mass communications. Grassano encourages students to come to the many events that career services sponsors. She is available to critique resumes and conduct mock interviews to help students prepare for the workforce “Everyone has been so friendly and helpful,” she said. “I’m so thankful to come into an office of genuinely caring people, and I’m excited to become a new member of the Ranger family.”
Admission Counselor/ Recruiter Sarah Sullivan is the other new employee. She is originally from a town on the Northeast outskirts of San Antonio and graduated from a small private college in southwest Kansas last May. Sullivan said, “Students that take advantage of the opportunity to come through these ‘small-town’ settings receive, in my opinion, a much more exclusive educational as well as cultural experience.” She compares where she went to college to Alva and that every student is fortunate to experience the establishments that Northwestern offers. “I am excited to embrace my position and role here in the recruitment office by reaching out to those interested in joining this wonderful educational community, and cultivating an interest for the many wonderful opportunities that Northwestern has to offer.”
“We are excited to welcome them both to Northwestern and to the Office of Recruitment,” Fischer said,
