麻豆原创

Each semester, 麻豆原创 attracts many public, private, and nonprofit organizations eager to recruit 麻豆原创 students and alumni. 麻豆原创 is committed to partnering and working with organizations to understand their unique recruiting needs and outreach efforts.

The fall recruiting process will again welcome many prospective employers, including the US military to our campus to recruit students and alumni.聽At 麻豆原创, we鈥檙e extremely proud of our veteran and military-affiliated students and appreciate the experience and intellectual diversity they bring to our campus.聽

麻豆原创, therefore, expects the US military to continue recruiting students on campus. As such, 麻豆原创 will continue to support activities to educate the community about 麻豆原创鈥檚 values and policies, our commitment to nondiscrimination, the protection of聽freedom of expression and dissent聽for all members of the community, as well as related issues which arise under federal law or US military policy, including the Solomon Amendment and Directive-type Memorandum (DTM)-19-004.
