Career fair offers opportunities
■ Admissions expert Don
Asher will kick off the
career fair with a lecture
By Nick Haselwander
for the Emerald
The activities for this week’s Ca
reer Fair will kick off today with a
presentation by a renowned expert
on graduate and law school admis
sions. Don Asher has done exten
sive research on the topic and is
the author of the book “Graduate
Admissions Essays: What Works,
What Doesn’t and Why.”
“(Asher) is the person in the
speaking field that every career
center would like to have because
he is extremely knowledgeable,”
Career Center spokeswoman Vir
ginia Garrison said.
Asher said a primary focus of his
presentation will be to help stu
dents become more confident
when applying to graduate schools.
“It is really a method of making
students more empowered to ap
ply to these elite graduate
schools,” he said.
Asher is a veteran of the college
circuit and speaks at about 60
campuses around the nation every
year. He said he received positive
responses from students during a
recent visit to the University of
Colorado.
Asher said it is that positive
feedback from students that moti
vates him.
“I think it’s a self-satisfying
process to help people, it’s not just
satisfying, it’s intoxicating,” he said.
Asher said that it is a goal of his
to make his speech not only infor
mative but entertaining as well.
“I promise that everyone will
laugh because they will find
something funny,” he said. “If stu
dents apply what I tell them, they
will be accepted by schools that
would have otherwise turned
them down.”
Following the visit by Asher, the
Career Fair will take place on
Wednesday. In a change from pre
vious years, the fair will be held in
multiple sites in the EMU, although
the EMU Ballroom will still be the
primary location. Garrison said this
change resulted from switching the
fair from a two-day to a one-day
Career Fair
When: 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., Wednes
day, Nov. 3
Where: EMU Ballroom
Career Fair Guest Speaker: Grad
uate school researcher Don Asher
speaks at 12 p.m. in Gerlinger
Lounge
event because students had re
quested the modification.
Garrison said the fair will in
clude a variety of different compa
nies from all areas of the country.
She said numerous law and gradu
ate schools will also be in atten
dance.
Garrison said she hopes all stu
dents, not just juniors and seniors,
will attend.
“We encourage freshman and
sophomores to just walk through
at least. They may just want to ex
plore,” Garrison said.
Hannah Unkefer, Career Center
public relations student assistant,
said the primary goal of the Career
Fair is to help students get a start
on their future.

“We look forward to resuming a
full and active life following a peri

Although doctors have been un
able to identify a cause for the car
diac arrest, Frohnmayer’s heart re
mains strong and there is no sign
of permanent damage, according
to die statement.
In response to the president’s poor
health, many community members
have been sending their best wishes
to Frohnmayer and his family.
Freshman environmental studies
major Keigo Nakaide set out to make
1,000 origami cranes to send to him.
In addition, the University Office
of Communications and the cam
pus Instructional Media Center set
up a video camera last week Univer

send messages to Frohnmayer. Gov.
Kitzhaber even stopped by Friday
