Students, alumni, and job seekers from the community came to the Career & Internship Expo to speak with prospective employers.

The Spring 2026 Career & Internship Expo was hosted by the Dominican University Career Development Center on Tuesday, March 10, in the Hennessy Center.  More than 180 students, alumni and job seekers from the community attended the event. 

Director of Career Development Manuel Juarez said that attendees had the opportunity to explore internships, part-time and full-time work, and graduate school.  They also could network with recruiters, or explore possible career pathways in their fields of interest.

“In addition to the employer network, the Expo featured employer-led workshops from the International Institute for the Brain also known as iBrain and TD Bank,” said Juarez. “These sessions were designed to introduce job seekers to each organization, highlight employment and college internship opportunities, and provide a small-group setting with direct access to company recruiters and leadership.”   

Attendees could have complimentary professional photos taken at the event to help them strengthen their LinkedIn profiles as they pursue a job.

Dominican University New York students helped to build homes with Habitat for Humanity as part of the Alternative Spring Break Program during the first week of March.  Seven students and a faculty member volunteered in Punta Golda, FL with Charlotte County Habitat for Humanity and seven students and two staff members volunteered in Wilmington, NC with Cape Fear Habitat for Humanity.   

“Rooted in the University’s mission and pillars, the program focuses on service, leadership, and community,” said Director of Student Engagement Rachel Shaw. “Students not only contribute to important projects,  but also return with a stronger sense of purpose, personal growth, and a deeper connection to the world around them.  

Dominican University has offered Alternative Spring Break for many years as a way for students to use their break from classes to make a meaningful impact. Students have helped with a variety of hands-on projects, including new construction, repairs, and home improvement to support local communities where they travel.
