SEPTEMBER 7, 2022 — Even as students return to campus, many are already thinking about how to turn their degree into a fulfilling career. To help those students, the UTSA Career Center will host the Career Expo PREP Workshop “What to Expect at Career Expos” from noon to 1 p.m. and from 5 to 6 p.m. today at the Student Union (SU 2.02.04).
This event is aligned with the mission of the center: to help all Roadrunners discover, pursue and achieve their unique career goals.

As a result, others may not hear and understand what you intend for them to hear and understand.
The University Career Center has a variety of resources to help Roadrunners go from graduate to gainfully employed, including:
