The Career Showcase is held every fall and spring at the Steven C. O'connoll Center. Photo by Diana Delgado For more than 30 years the Career Resource Center at the University of Florida puts on a two-day event that brings in representatives from hundreds of businessesand organizations across the country. The Career Showcase takes place once every semester and allows students to get information about and apply for internships or jobs with the businesses represented. The five-member Career Events Staff and over 60 students and professional staff, with the help of staff from the Stephen C. O'Connell Center set up the night before the showcases took place. After the event, volunteers had to pack up boxes to be sent back to the businesses and break down tables provided by the O'Connell Center. The break down process would take the staff only about an hour after the showcase ended on the second day in order to have the gym ready for any athletic events. A showcase is held in the fall and spring. Both are held at the O'Connell Center. The first day of the event has representatives from non- technical business and the second day has technical businesses represented. Students came to the showcase as if walking into an interview and applied for several different internships or jobs. The fall showcase attracted over 6,000 students. The spring semester, although smaller than the fall, was just as effective enough for the students that attended. -Christina Blood 18 CflrtPUSUff
