Washington Adventist University to Host Career and Graduate Programs Fair On Campus on February 25
Takoma Park, MD (February 4, 2016) A Career and Graduate Programs Fair will be held at Washington Adventist University (WAU) on Thursday, February 25 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The fair will take place in the lobby of Wilkinson Hall (Bldg. 1 on the campus map).
Local companies and non-profit agencies will be recruiting to fill permanent positions and internships at the mid-day event. Employers represented at the fair will include Adventist Community Services; Adventist Risk Management; Federal Bureau of Prisons; Peace Corps; Six Flags America; United States Army; United States Secret Service; United States Drug Enforcement Administration; Aflac, and Minority Access, Inc. Additional employers are still registering to participate.
In addition, the university’s School of Graduate and Professional Services (SGPS) will provide information about its evening graduate degree programs that accommodate the needs of individuals who are juggling full-time jobs, tight budgets and family responsibilities.
The SGPS offers master’s programs in business administration, counseling psychology, health care administration, nursing education, nursing and business leadership, professional counseling psychology, public administration, religion and a new RN-MSN program that enables nurses with an associate’s degree to move directly to their master’s degree. Undergraduate programs are also offered in the evenings.
“I hope that both job-seekers and those interested in expanding their education will stop by the Career and Graduate Programs Fair to learn more about local career opportunities, as well our evening degree programs,” said Nicole Currier, dean of the School of Graduate and Professional Studies. “The fair is open to anyone who is interested in attending, and I encourage participants to bring an up-to-date resumé.”
Wilkinson Hall is located at 7600 Flower Avenue, Takoma Park, Md. 20912. The campus is near the intersection of Flower and Carroll avenues, and is metro-accessible and on a bus route. For more information about the career fair or the university’s evening degree programs, call 301-891-4092.
