We welcomed a small pool of employers to offer an excellent opportunity for a virtual Pitch Night with our professional pilot students! Students heard about each organization and were "pitched" jobs and other pathway opportunities.

Employer Pitch Nights, hosted by the campus Career Services, allow our students to have another chance to network and build off of prior conversations they had with employers at our Job Fair last month! #KStateSalina | #ExperienceMatters | #FlyKState
