February 10, 2011 (Notre Dame, Ind.)—The Saint Mary's College Career Crossings Office invites Indiana companies and non-profits with internship opportunities to participate in an internship fair on campus next month. The Indiana Internship Expo for Saint Mary's students will be held on Tuesday, March 8 from 5-7 p.m. in the Student Center Lounge. There is no fee for a booth, but a limited number of booths are available. No independent distributors, contractors, or vendors are permitted. Each booth consists of a six-foot table and two chairs. Employers unable to attend can arrange for a resume drop box. Internships, paid and unpaid, could be for the summer or fall of 2011 or the spring of 2012.
