It's Homecoming here at Mizzou - meaning skits, philanthropy and tailgating are on everyone's mind. But, with this year's centennial anniversary, don't forget about one of the biggest perks of the season: alumni networking.

Career Fair - Thursday, Oct. 13

Stotler Ballroom, Memorial Union

9 a.m. to 12 p.m. and 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.

You've probably seen the announcements about the journalism job fair happening today, but if not, grab your résumé and head over (in business attire, of course). At least 12 journalism-related organizations will be there, including:

• Fleishman-Hillard
• k-Cura
• American Junior Golf Association
• CGX Consolidated Graphics
