Trinity students flocked to the Spring Career Fair at Laurie Auditorium on Wednesday, setting a new record of 362 participants, the highest thus far for a spring career fair.

The students, most of them seniors, met with representatives from 49 employers, including USAA, Trinity Real Estate Finance, and Valero.

Career Services normally plans the fair three to four months ahead of time, meeting with the companies and putting the fair into motion, said Katie Ramirez, the associate director of Career Services. The goal was to “make sure that it is a diverse group of employers and that it’s not just representing one major or industry,” said Ramirez.

Several big name companies were at the fair, including Dell, HEB, Valero, and Edward Jones.

Annie Cutler, employer coordinator for Trinity University’s Career Services, which hosted the fair, said several companies became sponsors of this career fair, such as the Houston Branch of Capgemini and Valero.
