Career Services will host its first journalism and media mini job fair today from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Grewcock Student Union 

The event will feature national news organizations such as The Federalist and National Review, as well as state outlets like The Detroit News and Michigan Talk Radio.

“This is the second of three mini job fairs planned for fall semester, the first being the finance and accounting job fair held back in September,” said Sharon Rupp, assistant director of Career Services. “Career Services is pursuing a new approach to attract top organizations on campus to recruit Hillsdale students by offering mini job fairs to employers that align with our mission and/or who have visited and hired in the past.”

A collaboration between Career Services and the Dow Journalism Program, the mini job fair will be an opportunity to build potential employment connections, according to John J. Miller, director of the Dow Journalism Program

“I’m grateful to career services for putting on this event,” Miller said. “I’ve never seen a better job market for young people in the media and journalism. There is a huge demand for Hillsdale students because they know how to write and think.”

Junior Jacob More said he is excited to attend. 

“I have been interested in journalism and media since my junior year of high school,” More said. “The job fairs are a good way for me to be able to become better acquainted with the areas of work I am interested in, so I am excited when ones like this come up.” 

Senior and digital editor of the Collegian Josh Newhook said he is treating the job fairs as an opportunity to find work after graduation.

“I think the journalism job fair will give students a great chance to network in-person, which is less stressful and difficult than meeting with someone online,” Newhook said. “As a senior who is in the market for a job after graduation, I appreciate the chance to connect with a variety of publications all at once.”
