Career Services has assisted more than 300 organizations both in the Capital Region and throughout the nation in finding qualified student interns and employees through a variety of resources designed for students, alumni and businesses.
  The University�s Small Business Development Center (SBDC) will also be on-hand to supply information about its no-cost market research, financial analysis, counseling and training programs to help start and expand small businesses.
