 Alumni Career Workshops
The last workshop hosted by the Alumni Association, in cooperation with the Scotts Miracle-Gro Company, welcomed Falcons from the northwest Ohio region to participate in a series of seminars and workgroups on resumé writing,
interviewing techniques, social networking and more.
Stay connected to the Alumni Association, as well as our pages on Facebook and LinkedIn below, for more information on upcoming
