Peg Ferguson, URI assistant director of Career Services, said her department adjusted the time this year to allow more working people to attend.
“We have twice as many school participants as we did last year,” Ferguson said. “That’s probably a direct relationship to the economy. As the economy declines, education becomes more of an option.”
To assist those wishing to attend, a shuttle from the Keaney Gym parking lot to the Memorial Union is being sponsored by Enterprise rent-a-car.
“We are looking for juniors and seniors who are looking to enhance their career options, and alumni re-thinking their career paths,” Ferguson said.
