is a great opportunity to introduce different career growth opportunities to students!
enjoyed connecting with two Cal State Fullerton students during the Titan Takeover. I answered their questions and shared my experience at Cal State Fullerton and current experiences in the workplace.
was a joy getting to know my Fullerton student. They asked great questions and showed a lot of initiative in being a part of this program. I am happy to see graduating students taking their career so seriously! PAGE | 11
