Health & Career Fair Connects Students, Community

Nova Southeastern University’s Tampa Bay Regional Campus hosted a FREE Veterans Affairs Health & Career Fair on Thursday, April 13, 2023, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 3400 Gulf to Bay Boulevard in Clearwater, Fla. The fair was open to veterans who reside in the Greater Tampa Bay Area to honor their service and commitment to our community.

The event offered veterans and community members, as well as military and non-military students, an opportunity to meet with local organizations who will showcase their employment opportunities and/or services. Several NSU health departments – such as our international dental program, physical therapy, and occupational therapy – were on hand to provide FREE health assessments or general healthcare information. The dental program was able to sign up one of the community members for a dental screening.

The event had more than 2,000 views on social media posts specifically on LinkedIn, Instagram, and Facebook, collectively. Bryan Williams with CareerSource Pinellas had the event posted on its internal portal and an email blast was sent to 10,000 of their contacts who are affiliated with the organization.

All our local military bases were contacted as well. It was a real pleasure to have the MacDill Air Force Base Color Guard here to kick the event off. It was also nice to hear from our community organizations how they were pleased with the event and able to make great connections with our faculty, staff, and students.

“It was also nice to hear our students enjoyed networking with one another in and outside of their programs, learn about the various degrees we offer, as well as make great connections with our local recruiters from the various companies who may be their future employer,” said Michael Abraham, Assistant Director III, with Student Recruitment & Enrollment Management at NSU’s Tampa Bay Regional Campus.
