Eastern Illinois University will host an event on April 2 for students interested in a career in media.

Students looking to gain professional experience are encouraged to attend EIU’s Media Profession Job and Internship Fair.  This will be held on Tuesday, April 2, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., in the MLK Union University Ballroom, located on campus at 600 Lincoln Avenue in Charleston.

The fair, tailored to students with a background in media, will give attendees the opportunity to find potential employers and receive practical, real-life experience, talking and interviewing with media representatives.  The event offers students a unique experience to create connections, exchange information, and set up internships.  The fair will be hosted by WEIU TV and FM, and though tailored toward students, the event is open to the general public.

EIU prepares students to accomplish their life goals through a combination of quality academics, personal relationships, and both on-campus and online learning opportunities.  For more information about Eastern Illinois University, including its broad array of academic and career readiness programs, or any other of EIU’s community-based services and opportunities, visit eiu.edu, or call EIU’s public information office at 217-581-7400.
