UW-Ââ€?Whitewater  holds  career  fair  today By Brad Allen Staff  Writer
Career  fairs  can  give  students  the  opportu- nity  to  explore  internship  options  as  well  as  meet  with  potential  future  employers.  The  University  of  Wisconsin-ÂWhitewater  is  hosting  its  annual  Hawk  Career  Fair  from  noon  to  4  p.m.  on  Oct.  1  at  the  Williams  Center.  Brian  Bredeson,  associate  director  of  career  and  leadership  development,  said  the  event  is  the  largest  career  fair  on  campus  during  the  course  of  the  year. “It’s  a  great  opportunity  for  students  to  prac- tice  networking  skills  and  establish  personal  connections  with  employers  regarding  jobs,â€?  Bredeson  said. Â
Some  students  may  think  that  the  career  fair  is  limited  to  business  majors  who  are  juniors  or  seniors.  However,  the  Hawk  Career  Fair  is  open  to  everyone. “It’s  open  to  all  majors  and  all  students,â€?  said  Allie  Vlach,  one  of  the  three  organizers.  “It’s  not  just  a  business  fair.â€?  Vlach  is  in  charge  of  Hawk  Jobs  and  em- ployer  outreach. Events  such  as  the  Hawk  Career  Fair  give  students  the  chance  to  develop  job  searching  skills  which  are  essential  after  graduation,  Vlach  VDLG 7KH HYHQW FDQ DOVR KHOSV VWXGHQWV WR Âż QG LQ ternships  which  will  help  advance  them  in  their  career  paths.  “It  is  very  much  a  networking  opportunity Â

After  a  summer  without  coaches  and  a  wrestling  camp,  the  Warhawks  team  aims  to  be  ready  for  the  up- coming  season. But  a  slew  of  violations  await  the  team  and  UW-ÂWhitewater  in  the  wake  of  a  report  released  by  the  uni- versity  detailing  recruitment  policies  and  practices  of  the  entire  program.   Matt  Aschenbrener,  the  Assis- tant  Vice  Chancellor  for  Enrollment  Retention,  Elizabeth  Watson,  direc- tor  of  the  Center  for  Students  with  Disabilities  Elizabeth  headed  an  in- vestigation  and  completed  50  inter- views  from  May  13-Â21,  2014. The  seven-Âpage  report  recom- mends  the  university  should  a  estab- lish  an  external  committee  to  review  ³UHFUXLWPHQW HOLJLELOLW\ Âż QDQFLDO aid  and  other  related  compliance  is- suesâ€?  in  coordination  with  National  Collegiate  Athletic  Association  and  Wisconsin  Intercollegiate  Athletic  Conference  regulations.    The  report  continues  on  to  show  multiple  examples  where  wrestling  recruits  received  travel,  lodging  and  IRRG EHQHÂż WV DQG LPSURSHU UHFRUG keeping. After  UW-ÂWhitewater  decided  not  to  renew  the  contract  of  head  coach  Tim  Fader,  the  ’Hawks  were  OHIW WR Âż QG D QHZ KHDG FRDFK HVSH cially  after  an  assistant  coach  Chris  Heilman  resigned.  About  two  weeks  after  the  in- cident  was  initially  reported,  Fader  said  he  met  with  Chancellor  Richard  Telfer  and  Athletic  Director  Amy  Edmonds  to  discuss  the  incident. In  an  interview  with  the  Royal  Purple  on  Sept.  3,  Fader  said  both  were  supportive  of  him,  but  they  had  suspended  him  to  investigate  what  had  transpired. On  July  4,  2014,  former  UW- Whitewater  wrestling  captain  Thomas  Trieloff  decided  to  start  a  petition  titled  “Reinstate  Coach  Fader.â€? Six  hours  later,  49  people  had  signed  the  petition.
