Upon walking into the Perry Field House, as a Public Relations Intern for the International Studies Department, I was immediately met with a plethora of opportunity; smiling faces that were willing to help and many well-dressed students. The Spring EXPO Job and Internship Fair, sponsored by the BGSU Career Center, was held on Wednesday, February 6th, from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. The aisles were numbered and I was given a guide upon entering, which told me the row location of each organization. It was easy to navigate utilizing the guide, along with the Spring EXPO Job Guide booklet which provided a brief summary of the 150+ organizations attending, and their current hiring opportunities. Upon review, I began choosing companies to approach and talk to that might interest International Studies majors:
