International Students Career Fair ‘21: A Virtual Experience
By: Dara Udobong ‘23
year, USC hosts career fairs for its students: curated events that bring students and recruiters together for the provision of internship opportunities and even full-time offers. Traditionally, career fairs take place on Trousdale Parkway, the thoroughfare of our University Park Campus. Employers would visit campus during the fair and line up in booths along the parkway that students could visit one after the other. Spread across a number of days, the career fair features days for unique presentations as well as companies geared towards specific audiences: such as Departmental Career Fairs for individual schools or the International Students Career Fair. As an international student myself, the International Students Career Fairs have been so resourceful in providing global opportunities for students from different countries and bringing international students closer to jobs that sponsor certain visa types.

If 2019 was the rise of this generation, then 2020 was their crowning coronation. The year’s music scene was undeniably led by bonafide popstars Doja Cat, Meg The Stallion, and Lizzo. This article will continue in the music scene’s efforts to empower Black women in the industry; specifically, we’ll be looking at some of my favorite up and coming artists.
