Hello Kirk,

My name is Lee and I am a career counselor at the Career Center on campus.
Dr. Jackson notified me that you would like some job & internship resources for you and
your fellow club members.

Due to my current schedule I will not be able to make it in person to talk with your club, but I
am more than happy to share some great resources with you that you can hopefully pass along
to your math club members. Please see below:

Register with Sparta System, the Career Center's communication & online job & internship system

-Click 'Sign In' button to the right (use student ID number for both username and password)

To  search for Math related positions, follow the steps below (we've got about 40 math related internships and jobs currently posted):
-Click on 'Advanced Search' tab
-Fill out the field categories of interest (be sure to select 'Math' under the Majors/ Concentrations tab)
-The fewer categories you select, the more job results you will receive (I recommend selecting only the
Major category and leaving the rest blank-i.e. position type, etc.)

'Business Technical Career Fair Participants' link under 'Quicklinks'
