Dear Health Care Organization,

The Academic Council of the School of Nursing & Health Studies at Georgetown University invites you to participate in the 2008 Healthcare Career Fair on Thursday, December 4th, 2008 from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. The Career Fair is an annual recruitment event with representatives from both hospitals and health care organizations nationwide.

This year’s event will take place in the Leavey Conference Center Ballroom in the Student Center on campus.

Here are a few highlights included in this career fair experience:

• You may drop your supplies at the Leavey Conference Center and then Academic Council members will direct you to a nearby parking garage.
• An Academic Council member will escort each attendee to their table and help prepare in any way possible.
• You will receive all the information needed for a successful day as well as a catered lunch.

In the past, students have found the Career Fair to have a significant impact in determining their future professional opportunities. We are looking forward to welcoming you to Georgetown at the end of November!

Undergraduate: Nursing Traditional undergraduates (graduating in May 2009) Accelerated second-degree program (May of 2009)
