Dear Career and Grad School Expo Participant,

We hope you are looking forward to attending Expo on October 2, 2013.  We have been working very hard to make sure that our career fair is the best one you attend all year.  The following items will assist you in preparing to attend Expo:

1. Driving directions to Kirksville

Kirksville, MO is located on U.S. Hwy 63. When entering Kirksville from the north or south, take the Baltimore Street exit (Business 63). Turn west on Patterson Street to Franklin Street and turn north. The Student Union Building is on Franklin Street.

2.  Unloading and Parking

Before going to the parking lot, please pull up to the entrance to the Student Union Building on Franklin Street. There will be unloading signs to direct you. We will have students available to carry your boxes and displays into the building.  In order to avoid a backlog of traffic at the unloading spot, please do not come into the building to register at this point.  Make sure your materials are marked clearly with your name and your company's name.  The student volunteers will transport your materials to your table for you while you park your car.  After unloading, proceed to the reserved parking lot mentioned below.  It is a short walk to the Student Union or you may take the university shuttle van that will be provided. Once you reach the Union, you may proceed to the Recruiter Registration Table on the first floor (lower level) of the Student Union.  If you have questions about the parking procedure, please call our office at 660-785-4353. 

You may park in the University's Lot on the corner of Franklin and Patterson which has been reserved for Expo attendees. There will be a student representative of Delta Sigma Pi at the entrance to the parking lot. The lot is marked on the attached map.

4. Information About Interview Day

5. General Expo information

We ask your assistance in fielding questions from students.  We encourage all students to talk to recruiters, regardless of their major and regardless of the major(s) for which you may be recruiting on the day of the job fair. This is a great opportunity for you to showcase your company and for the student to learn about potential opportunities. We hope that you will answer student's questions regarding opportunities in your company for their field of interest and geographic preference, provide them with the name(s) of the appropriate person for them to contact for positions they may be interested in, and that you will forward the student's resumes to the appropriate persons in your organization, if asked to do so.  Many students with liberal arts majors are interested in your organization and have the skills and qualities your organization seeks.  Please assist them as best you can.

We also ask that you remain at Career Expo until 4 pm.  The career fair hours have been set from 11 am until 4 pm so more students will have the opportunity to speak with you.  While we understand that makes a long day for you, we want everyone to have a chance to speak with you.

Thank you,

Polly Matteson, Assistant Director
