Career Carnival 2016: A Great Start to the New Year


What do you get when you mix KanJam, airball archery, and Keytar Bear with a bouncy house, free popcorn and an ice cream truck?  Career Carnival 2016! The event went off without a hitch thanks to Tufts Career Center staffers Jim McCarthy and Debbie Coughlin. 

Lots of students and staff came out for the event.  The ice cream truck gave away more than 700 sweets, and there were long lines at the spin art table. We were glad to see friends from across campus including Provost David Harris, Associate Dean Rob Mack, the College Transition Advisors, Admissions staff, and International Center staff

This year's event was heavy on the fun and light on the career education.  The message: Engage with the Career Center. We're nice people, we're devoted to students and alumni, and while we take our jobs seriously to provide you with the best resources and expert advice, we're also here to remind you that every now and then, you need to step back and have fun.

Here's to a great start to the new year!  Check out the pics below.
