Innis Loves Baseball!
Meet Your Career Educator: Jon Bray
On Friday, September 26th Innis went to the Jays game! It was the final series against the Baltimore Orioles, and even though we were in 3rd place and knew there wasn’t a chance at the title, it was still going to be a great game. The players must have heard the Innis cheers because the Jays won with a score of 4 -2. Keep your eyes open for more fun events like this and to be a part of the Innis spirit. The event was made possible by the ICSS, IRC and the Alumni Office.
Innis has partnered with the Career Centre to offer on-site career advising and support. On MONDAYS from 5 PM to 7 PM, in the INNIS RESIDENCE LOBBY, Jon Bray, Career Educator, is available for drop-in conversations to discuss any questions or topics pertaining to career planning, job search, or skill building on and off campus. If you have questions about your resume, finding work, exploring careers, or any other topic, Jon will be here to help.
