Students gain professional and networking experience during Employer Expo

By Cara Echols, Bluffton University PR student writer
Bluffton University business students jumpstarted their career search during the Employer Expo networking event held on campus Sept. 27.
 
“At this event, students are able to interact with representatives from companies in the area that are actively looking to hire interns and full-time employees. The interactions are a great learning experience that they don’t get in the classroom,” said John Burkhart, assistant professor of accounting.
 

Lelani Bischoff a Bluffton High School senior, is the October Icon artist of the month.

Lelani has taken Art one, Design one, Ceramics one, Photography one, Photography II (currently) and Mural/Crafts (currently).

"After high school I plan to study Botany at a college in Ohio - either Kent State, Ohio Wesleyan or Ohio University," she said.
