MSU has several career fairs throughout the school year but few are able to target the same audience as Earn, Learn and Intern. Now in its third year, Earn, Learn and Intern is an annual event that offers a venue for students from all majors to meet, network and potentially work for companies in the Lansing area. The fourth floor of Spartan Stadium was filled Wednesday afternoon with 128 Mid-Michigan businesses, all hoping to ensure some of MSU’s local talent stays local, said Paul Jaques, internship developer for MSU Career Services Network.
