		<description><![CDATA[A recap of the IST Professional Expo for 2008!]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="line-height: 14.25pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: &quot;Lucida Sans Unicode&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: #000000;">The IST Pro-Expo took place on Monday September 15, 2008 and filled the 1st and 2nd floors of the IST Building with nearly 60 companies looking specifically for IST and SRA students to hire for internships, co-ops, and full-time positions.  These companies included Ernst and Young, Lockheed Martin, Sun Microsystems, and PricewaterhouseCoopers.  For those interested in a career in government, a few three letter agencies made an appearance; The FBI, NSA, and CIA were all present, along with several representatives for those who were interested in security work.</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 14.25pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: &quot;Lucida Sans Unicode&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: #000000;">The day began at 8:30 AM with a Diversity Networking Breakfast at the Nittany Lion Inn.  At 11:00 AM, hundreds of students began to flock to the halls of the IST building, clad in professional attire, eagerly waiting to speak with the corporate representatives. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This also marked the beginning of the first set of mock interview sessions.  The mock interviews were run in half hour slots by corporate representatives who volunteered their time to interview students.  These mock interviews enabled students to obtain valuable feedback regarding their interviewing skills.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At 1:00 PM, Creamy Ice Cream was served on the 2nd floor.  A half hour later, the second set of mock interviews began.</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 14.25pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: &quot;Lucida Sans Unicode&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: #000000;">At 4:00 PM, the Pro-Expo wrapped up its successful day. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Numerous students were able to come out and interact with many well-regarded companies.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This was an enriching experience for both parties. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Next year, the Pro Expo will continue to grow and provide students with chances to network with corporate representatives.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
