Why?: The types of things that go on on campus. I think students should get more involved. Like the things we have going on, like the Career Fair we just had. There wasn’t that many people that showed up and there should have been so many people. We had so many people that came from different places and it wasn’t like it wasn’t advertised. We put it on social media and in front of the doors and not enough people showed up. When you start your career, you start off from high school and college.
