“Terminology is one problem
students may have when look-
ing for a job,” Salazar said.
The center hosts events that
invite employers on campus
to try to recruit students.
Information sessions related
to certain professions and
graduate schools are also held
on campus. The center posts
these events in the Student
E-News, the electronic bi-
weekly student newsletter.
The next job fair for students
will be held on March 27.
Students graduating can
continue to use the Career
Center after graduation. If
students are having problems
finding a job or applying to
graduate school six months
down the road, they can still
set up an appointment with a
counselor for help.

Until this June, Crahan was
president of ForCHILDREN

educational materials in Latin

said.

is wrong for graduate school,
leaving graduates with an

The majority of St. Edward’s

spring. Last year, 385 students
walked across the stage at the
end of the spring semester, but
as many as 245 undergraduate
students have been certified
to graduate in December.
