Maharishi International University (MIU) hosted its first annual job fair last Wednesday, June 1st. Fourteen local companies sent representatives to participate. The lobby of the university’s student center was abuzz with activity from students, community members, alumni, and business owners. Students enjoyed connecting and exploring job, volunteer and internship opportunities with the Fairfield businesses.

MIU is home to students studying a wide variety of fields, including Sustainable Living, Media and Communications, Business and Accounting, Computer Science, Physiology and Health, Art, and Education. In order to appeal to the students’ array of interests, the job fair included restaurants, magazines, schools, energy companies, investment research advisors, and more (a full list of participants is available below).

Many MIU students feel a strong tie to the Fairfield community. In fact, four of the companies that participated in the job fair are owned by alumni (Cider House, Heavenly Organics, iPhone Life and Ideal Energy). Additionally, 58% of the 2015 undergraduates decided to stay in the state of Iowa after graduating. It’s no wonder that Fairfield boasts a robust economy comprised of businesses in many different sectors.
