The Graduate Career Development Center hosted their first Graduate Business Job Fair on October 14, 2022. The purpose of the fair was to provide an exclusive opportunity for graduate students to meet and learn more about potential employers. Rachel Murray, a representative for Hub International Insurance, was enthused with the fair, stating that there were several students interested in the company's programs, including their Early Career Programs, which is seeking motivated students and college graduates to join in their mission. They offer several internship programs across America focusing on different aspects of their business. HUB employs over fifteen thousand individuals across North America, and is ranked fifth in the world among the largest insurance brokers.
