Friday is ‘Business Day’ in Lumpkin Hall

Friday has been designated “Business Day” by Eastern’s School of Business.

Students interested in business can meet with representatives from three firms: ADM, Aldi, and Edward Jones, which will be available to students from 9 a.m. to noon this Friday in the student’s lounge of Lumpkin Hall.

Business Day was put together by many individuals including the Student Senate’s External Relations Committee and Dave Arseneau and Jane Wayland of the School of Business.

Two sessions will be held for the event. The morning session will allow students to arrange job interviews, and so will the second session, which will be held later that afternoon.

Jane Wayland of the School of Business said that students can expect to find three outstanding firms that work in completely different ways.

“All students are welcome and encouraged to come, not just seniors looking for jobs or just business majors and minors,” Wayland said.

ADM is a leading agricultural firm, applying the latest technology to add the most value to crops such as oil seed, grains and cocoa.

ALDI is an international limited assortment discount retailer, specializing in an assortment of private label, high quality products.

Edward Jones is a full-service financial services firm, providing one-on-one advice to investors.

Wayland encourages students to feel comfortable attending Business Day.

“Students should come by and introduce themselves and enjoy a refreshment or two,” she said.
