The WKU Recreation, Park, and Nonprofit Administration program is hosting its annual job fair on Wednesday, Feb. 7 on the first and second floors of DSU from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. 

As of Jan. 25, 18 confirmed organizations will be at the event with a likelihood of several more joining. 

Some of the organizations that will be present include Lost River Cave, Historic RailPark & Train Museum, Kentucky Department of Fish & Wildlife Resources and The Salvation Army. 

Dr. Raymond Poff, professor and program coordinator for the Recreation, Park & Nonprofit Administration helped organize the event, providing helpful insight into what is to come.

Poff stated it is likely that most of the job opportunities organizations will be there to talk about positions that involve a good amount of working with people. 

Poff has high hopes for this job fair spreading more awareness about the program and the array of careers involved, and is excited for students to be exposed to unfamiliar careers and opportunities.

“We really can’t pursue something that we’re not aware of, and I don’t know that I can grow up to be an ‘X, Y, or, Z’ if I don’t know that ‘X, Y, and Z’ are even career opportunities,” Poff said. “I think one of the things that this job fair does is that it exposes our students to some of the opportunities that are out there.”
