Helping students to successfully pursue career opportunities was at the heart of a two-day Career Fair Sept. 10-11, that featured the renaming the Office of Career Services library for Philip Morris USA (PM USA), an operating company of Altria Group, Inc.
The corporate giant has actively and successfully recruited WSSU students for a number of years. The company actively engages WSSU students in the area of Leadership Development programs and recruits students for Information Technology internships and full-time jobs.
Recently WSSU’s Office of Career Services secured a $25,000 Leadership Investment Fund grant that is managed by PM USA. The funding supports programs that help develop tomorrow’s leaders through key events and educational programs at colleges and universities where PM USA actively recruits.
“The library is at the heart of the career services unit. It serves as a resource for our students to come and explore career options, spend time on computers researching fields or various industries, get walk-in resumé critiques and advice, evaluate and discuss their future goals and skills,” said LaMonica Singleton, WSSU interim director of Career Services.
