A Campus-Wide Invitation to Explore, Design, and Discover Your Future
The Hornet’s N.E.S.T. Career Showcase is back for Fall 2025—and all Fullerton College students are invited to participate, no matter their major or division.
Spearheaded by the Business Division, this cross-campus initiative invites students to dive into career research and turn their findings into a visually compelling 22” x 28” career exploration poster. These posters will be displayed across Building 500 during Career Exploration Week in late September.
