Sign-ups for this fair came earlier this year.

The event includes a panel of industry leaders at 3:30 p.m., with the fair from 4 to 6 p.m., followed by attendance at the game.
Last year’s fair netted 20 hires, so the hiring game is on! Some of the organizations represented will be the Portland Trail Blazers, Portland Timbers, the NBA, Adidas, Tacoma Rainiers, Sacramento Kings, Alpha Broadcasting, Salem-Keizer Volcanoes and Sports Management Worldwide. Marketing, communication, management and media majors are targeted.

You may also pay by credit card online.
We have 20 spots reserved on a first-come, first-served basis. The fee will be $10, discounted by the Career Services Office. This is a great opportunity to network and pursue your career in sports.

We would like to invite you to take part in a great opportunity that embodies the Christmas spirit, helps a family in need, and provides the chance to win a wonderful gift for yourself or someone you love. We are fundraising as a joint venture between a group of students in Kristina Findley’s Leading and Managing People class and “PictureThis,” a business senior capstone project.
We are raffling off the chance to win a picture of your choice transferred over to a wood or metal canvas. All the proceeds of this raffle will be used to supply a local family in need with food and gifts for Christmas. This family consists of a recently married couple that both work full-time jobs, as well as look after their 2-year-old godson.
Ticket prices are $3 for one entry or $5 for two entries. Please visit this link and print/fill out the document and deliver the form, along with your cash donation, to Kelly Borror in the business office in Hoover by noon on Thursday, Dec. 6.
The winners will be announced at 2 p.m. that afternoon by e-mail. Two prizes will be raffled off, one wood and one metal 8×10 picture of your choice. The winner’s prize will be available for pick-up approximately one week after we receive an e-mail copy of the picture of your choice.
Thank you,
