Career Expo
About the Career Expo
The CVM Career Expo has grown by leaps and bounds since its inception. Last year, there were 53 employers represented, and over 300 DVM, VMT, and graduate students participated. Representatives from various types of practice settings across the United States have been on site to recruit students for internships and externships as well as full-time positions after graduation.
Feedback from employers and vendors participating in the event indicates they find it a worthwhile experience, with an employer commenting, “This was honestly the best career fair I’ve attended as a recruiter. I have always known MSU students were well prepared, just by their exceptional NAVLE pass results, but being here and meeting your students really drove that home. Thank you for having us at your career fair!”
Please direct general Career Expo questions to CVM Events Coordinator, Tammie Ellis at 662-325-8023 or vetmedevents@msstate.edu.
Sponsorship Opportunties
MSU CVM is grateful for all the employers who have hosted our students for internships and externships, as well as those who have sought after and hired our graduates over the years! Many of our students have job offers in hand prior to starting their fourth year, so we encourage employers to begin building relationships with students early in their program, even in their first year. In an effort to assist employers with building these relationships, we have created additional opportunities to connect with our students through Sponsorship Benefits.
Participation also supports the college's mission of preparing the next generation of veterinary leaders while helping students explore career pathways and professional opportunities across the industry.
