K-STATE BRINGING EMPLOYERS IN LAW ENFORCEMENT, SOCIAL SERVICES TO CAMPUS FOR CAREER FAIR MARCH 6

MANHATTAN -- Kansas State University students from all areas of study will have the chance to meet with employers in the law enforcement and social service fields about jobs and internships.

The Criminology and Social Services Career Fair will be 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday, March 6, at the K-State Student Union ballroom. Students from all majors are invited to meet with employers about internships and career opportunities with police departments, social and behavioral health services and criminal justice agencies. Students nearing graduation can bring copies of their resumes, but students of all classification are invited to attend.

"We would like for students to stop by and ask questions and gather information from the different agencies, even if they do not have any certain plans for a career," said Roy Barnett, instructor of sociology.

The fair is sponsored by the K-State Criminology Club, K-State career and employment services and K-State's department of sociology, anthropology and social work.

Criminology Club members involved in organizing the fair include:

Lindsay Hicks, senior in psychology, Emporia; Christopher Berger, senior in sociology, Manhattan; and Ashley Horner, senior in sociology, and Claire Markey, junior in sociology, both of Overland Park.

From out-of-state: Rachel Bronfman, senior in sociology, Raytown, Mo.
