Associate Dinner Symposium

Speaker: Ben Janike

Crossroads Training Inc

Based in Waseca, Minnesota, Ben is passionate about helping adults achieve their fitness goals. A former college wrestler, he knows firsthand how easy it is to put health on the back burner as life and raising four kids take center stage. Along his own journey, Ben discovered that you don’t need a fancy gym to get back on track, you just need the courage to start and the discipline to keep going. His message is simple but powerful: consistency is key, and investing in yourself is always worth it.

Join us at Metro State's biggest on-campus event of the year, the Diversity Networking and Job Fair, designed exclusively for current students and alumni. In response to feedback from last year’s participants, this year’s event will take place in the Jason R. Carter Science Education Center. The fair will feature 30 companies and organizations eager to connect with students and alumni about career opportunities that match your interests.

The employers attending the career fair include: Cargill, Children's Minnesota, Fraser, Hennepin County, Let's Talk Healing, Mains'l, Mayo Clinic, Osseo Area Schools, Saint Therese, SPS Commerce, Touchstone Mental Health, and Trusted Semiconductor Solutions, with more to come.

Registration Fee
There are no registration fees for current Metro State students or alumni; however, participation in the event is limited to these groups.

Attending your First In-Person Networking Event?
Start by preparing your elevator pitch. This is a short, confident introduction that shares who you are, what you are studying or pursuing, and what you are looking for. A helpful video for students and new professionals is How to Give an Elevator Pitch for Students, which provides clear and practical tips in just a few minutes.

Next, review your résumé. You can use the Career Center’s résumé resources, including the How to Write a Résumé guide and Sample Résumés for Students and Alumni. For feedback, attend Résumé Drop-In every Wednesday from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Zoom or schedule an appointment.

Remember, this is your opportunity to make a great first impression, learn about career pathways, and build meaningful connections—no prior experience required! Bring printed copies of your résumé, a few thoughtful questions, and your authentic self.

Recommended Attire
To ensure everyone feels comfortable and presents themselves professionally, we recommend business casual attire. Dress as you would for an interview, choosing professional attire to make a strong first impression. Avoid jeans, hoodies, and t-shirts.
