¾ÅÉ«ÊÓƵ

¾ÅÉ«ÊÓƵ’s Fall Career Fair, hosted by University Career Services on the Fairfax Campus, connected students and alumni with prospective employers on Sept. 27–28.

As employer engagement consultant with University Career Services at ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓƵ, Jneva Norfleet connects organizations with qualified talent from Mason, helping Mason students and graduates achieve their career goals. Outside work, Norfleet hones other talents of her own—she is a Toastmasters champion and a spoken word artist who shares her poetry to inspire others.

There were many outstanding performers at ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓƵ this past academic year, from musicians to actors to athletes. Less celebrated but no less impressive was the virtuoso performance of a determined IT major at a job fair, a star turn that commanded the attention of University Career Services representatives.

Jaala Brown knew by the end of high school that she wanted to pursue a career in the media industry. Now, as the Mason communication major prepares for a May graduation, that pursuit is paying dividends, as she is working as an intern for NBC’s Nightly News with Lester Holt.

When you’re looking for a job in college, the most important thing you need is flexibility. Working at ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓƵ makes it easy to balance your classes with work.

More than 3,000 Mason students attended the career fair on September 28 and 29 and met with more than 240 employers promoting internships, part-time jobs, and full-time positions.

Like many of the faculty and staff who work at Mason, Philip Wilkerson started out as a student, first coming to the university to pursue his master’s degree.

Mason's University Career Services staff and industry adviser Philip Wilkerson received awards from the Eastern Association of Colleges and Employers (EACE) at its annual conference, June 22-24, in Atlantic City.

One undergraduate student shares the value of her three internships. Her advice? Go for it.
