UI spring career fair
University of Idaho students ranging from freshman to graduate levels will have the opportunity to network, browse graduate schools or obtain summer internships and jobs at the UI spring career fair from 2 to 6 p.m. Wednesday in the Student Union Building Ballroom.
UI will host 67 organizations that appeal to all different types of students, said Noell Kinyon, UI career center employer relations specialist.
“Basically, the three (categories of organizations) are geared toward all majors, engineering and the college of business,” Kinyon said. “We’ll also have grad schools there.”
Kinyon said about half of the organizations are recruiting all majors, including the Peace Corp.
Some major corporations and graduate schools attending the fair include Micron, Simplot, Target, Stryker, Whitworth University, Gonzaga School of Business and Willamette University College of Law, Kinyon said.
Kinyon said it’s a great event for all ages to attend.
“As freshmen — as soon as the semester is over, they’re going to be sophomores, so a lot of them will accept internships for sophomore year,” she said. “So they can start networking, start putting a face to a name … for when they’re ready for an internship.”
Kinyon said about a dozen employers will hold interviews following the fair from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday in the SUB Ballroom, and Friday in the Career Center. Delta Chi investigation
An investigation of the University of Idaho’s Delta Chi fraternity that began in November 2011 is ongoing.
The fraternity has not been kicked off campus, said UI Dean of Students Bruce Pittman.
“We’ve been working closely with their international fraternity to address risk management issues,” Pittman said. “We’re also working with alumni to make sure chapter operations are being run in accordance to Delta Chi’s international standards and our own expectations here on campus.”
Pittman said one of the fraternity’s international officers was on campus recently to meet with its members as well as the dean of students office.
“We’ve had continuing concerns about their chapter operations,” he said. “It’s all part of an ongoing effort to help the chapter be successful and viable.” ASUI Sen. Goytowski faces fine
Following the recent ASUI impeachment hearing, Zack Goytowski was fined $15 for “ASUI elections violations.”
Goytowski said to his knowledge, he’s being fined for violations the senate has evidence of.
“I have the right to go to the student defender and defend myself against the fine,” Goytowski said. “But I just want this whole thing to be over with, I’m not sure if (defending the fine) is worth my time.”
