[Faculty] USDA Direct-Hire Event: March 9th!

[Mars, Matthew M - (mmars)]

Dear Faculty,

The CALS Career Center is partnering with USDA to host a direct-hire event. Please share the information below and the attached flier with interested May 2021 graduates and recent graduates from your programs. Students that submit a registration form will be pre-qualified for interviews and may receive a hire offer that day. USDA is hiring over 1500 positions by September 2021 and students do not want to miss out on this opportunity. As you can see the available opportunities are diverse and there are at least 25 positions in the State of Arizona.

I hope to see many of our students register and that we overwhelm them with wonderful applicants! This has been shared with advisors in your programs and with some graduate program coordinators as well through various listservs. It has also been added as an event to the CALS LinkedIn<https://www.linkedin.com/company/uarizonacals/> page, which I encourage you to follow if you have not already. I appreciate you taking the time to share with your students and networks and getting the word out on this opportunity.

With gratitude,
Bridget
