University Holds Spring 2026 Career & Internship Expo
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.

Students Build Homes During Alternative Spring Break
Dominican University students and faculty member Margaret Mulligan in Punta Gorda, Florida where they are helping build a home with Charlotte County Habitat for Humanity.
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.

BLAST Scholars Explore Career Options
Dominican University students learn the science behind making ice cream at Penn State’s iconic Berkey Creamery.
Dominican University’s BLAST biology scholars traveled to Pennsylvania State University at the end of February to meet with alumna and mentor Anna Acosta ’22, who is pursuing her Ph.D. in Food Science. During the visit, the Dominican University students toured the campus and got an inside look at the research laboratories and collaborative learning spaces. They also listened to a series of flash talks as graduate students spoke about the diverse paths that led them to their advanced studies.
“This experience allowed our BLAST scholars to see how a biology degree can open doors far beyond traditional pathways. Hearing directly from Anna and the graduate students helped our scholars envision themselves in those spaces and recognize that their journey can take many different and exciting directions.,“ said AnnMarie DelliPizzi, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Biology, who accompanied the students on the trip along with Richard Flamio Jr., Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Biology,
The students also went to the iconic Penn State Berkey Creamery, where they explored the science behind ice cream production and participated in the process, including doing some hands-on “quality testing.”
The BLAST (Biology for Low-Income Aspiring Scholars in Training) Program provides scholarships to high-achieving, low-income STEM students and aims to increase student retention and success by linking scholarships with co-curricular activities, including academic support, mentoring, and undergraduate research. The students meet with scholars from other universities or industries to be exposed to different career paths.
