ABINGTON, Pa. — Decked out in their best professional attire and with resumes fresh off the printer, Penn State Abington students attended the annual spring Career Expo this week. The event, organized by the college’s Center for Career and Professional Development, provided opportunities to network with about 100 firms for internships and full- and part-time positions.
Lockheed Martin, a Fortune 500 company, is a global aerospace, defense, security, and advanced technologies business. It makes the Abington Career Expo a regular stop on its recruiting circuit.
“The students at Abington have a real excitement for engagement in next-gen technology. It’s encouraging and exciting to meet them,” Greg Morozzi, a multifunctional engineering and science manager at Lockheed Martin and a Penn State alumnus, said.
Universal Health Services is a recurring visitor to the Career Expo, too. Corporate recruiter Jill McGovern represented the company, one of the nation’s largest providers of hospital and healthcare services.
“Students can use their degrees to help people at Universal. It’s a shared value proposition. We assist people and families providing health care. We are a community, and we know the curriculum at Penn State Abington,” McGovern said. “Universal Health is a Fortune 500 company, but it’s like a family run company. It’s a smaller work environment, and this is a smaller college so we have shared values.”
