Last week we also hosted Mock Interview Night for all senior student-athletes. This was an opportunity to gain more interview experience before graduating. Each student-athlete went through 3 interviews with various employers. Thank you to all of those who attended! @CMUAthletics pic.twitter.com/ZCoK4GW7MT
