Special to the Chronicle
Instead of sweatpants and tennis shoes, this Wednesday brought students in suit and tie to Wilson Recreation center for a Career Fair hosted by the Career Center. Students of all years were invited to attend and give their resumes to various companies, many of which have Duke alumni among their ranks. The Chronicle's Patricia Spears spoke to some of the members in attendance.
