-Malorie Lucich, SF State student

"CIIJ’s job fair helped me establish connections with the top editors at some of the best-known publications from across the country."
-Zoneil Maharaj, SF State student

"I thought CIIJ gave us budding journalists an amazing opportunity to meet and discuss journalism opportunities."
Hannah Simon, UC Berkeley

"KQED is impressed with CIIJ’s continual efforts to diversify the applicant pool and to provide an opportunity for community and educational outreach."
-LanAnh Hoang and Victoria Mauleon, KQED

"This job/internship fair was a terrific 'bang for the buck.' I met some very well-qualified, enthusiastic, and professional students who we look forward to getting on board as interns."
-Sondra Lewis, KRON 4

"CIIJ and SF state offers one of the best one-day job fairs in the industry. It is well-organized and the registrants are well prepared."
