They get to see our students&#8217; work first, and many internship and job offers have grown out of this day.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 0in; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; widows: 2; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; word-spacing: 0px;\">Dupont said receiving a critique from a professional is key.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 0in; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; widows: 2; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; word-spacing: 0px;\">&#8220;Students get critiqued from professors all the time, but getting your work in front a professional is different,&#8221; she said. &#8220;They tell you what you need do to get a job or an internship. They can also tell what the job demands are.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 0in;\">&#8220;I hope students will get a real sense about what the working world is like.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 0in; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; widows: 2; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; word-spacing: 0px;\">Students are encouraged to bring their laptops to show their work, along with a resume.
