Employer Feedback
“[This was] our !rst year attending the event on campus, and it’s an understatement to say we were happy with the turnout. The turnout was amazing, and we are proud to have been a sponsor of such an event. We have hired many Mason graduates. We anticipate tripling those numbers.”
“Thank you for accommodating us in a location that would work for our large number of potential applicants. I appreciate you remembering our situation and having a plan. Our representatives stayed busy the entire time. Several of your staff stopped by to check on us to see if we needed anything. One of your staff members even brought us several bottles of water without being asked. From the time we arrived in the morning until we departed your staff was extremely helpful, very professional, and quite pleasant to deal with. A huge thank you to the entire team”
