Florida State University students can further their future and expand their career connections through the Seminole Futures Recruitment Series Tuesday, Feb. 3 through Friday, Feb. 13 at various campus locations. The recruitment series is open to all majors and class levels.
Led by FSU’s Career Center within the Division of Student Affairs, Seminole Futures offers seven days of guided career exploration to help support students at every stage of their professional journey while preparing them for future careers. Whether they’re seeking an internship or a full-time position after graduation, students can connect with a range of employers to increase their professional network and discover career paths.
This emphasis on career readiness secured FSU the No. 13 spot on The Princeton Review’s 2025 list of the Top 20 Best Schools for Internships among public schools across the U.S.
“Our primary objective is to ensure our students are equipped, empowered and employed,” said Rob Liddell, assistant vice president for Career Services. “The Seminole Futures series provides interactive, experience-driven engagement that supports student success and assists our employer partners with the next generation of professional workers.”
Throughout the week, students can take part in several career-focused activities, such as taking a professional headshot, having their resume reviewed and meeting with Career Center team members for interview and presentation tips in preparation to meet with prospective employers.
The signature Seminole Futures Job & Internship Fair is from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 12 at the FSU Student Union. More than 70 employers across industries will be present to discuss early career prospects. Among them are Insight Global, Enterprise Mobility, NewDay USA and ReliaQuest.
“We are thrilled to host the Seminole Futures Fair at the Student Union this spring,” said Christy Mantzanas, employer relations program director at the FSU Career Center. “This centralized location cultivates a vibrant, energetic networking environment that will benefit our students and employer representatives.”
Justin Mohabir, a finance and accounting student who took part in the reimagined Seminole Futures series last fall, said, “Every event challenged me to grow a little more outside my comfort zone. Each conversation with employers became smoother, and I could see my confidence, communication and networking skills strengthening with every interaction.”
