The event aims to foster long-term networking connections and provide students with relevant examples of entry-level job and internship opportunities in journalism, media, advertising, communications, and other connected fields. 

One of the menu option initiatives under the FCC's Outreach Prong 3 is "participation in at least four job fairs or career fairs by personnel who have substantial responsibility in the making of hiring decisions." Full SEU participation in each job/career fair should earn the SEU a 1/4 credit.
