In late January, Muskingum University was filled with the excitement of students and alumni connecting at the second annual Impact Fair. Hosted by the Impact Center, nearly 30 employers promoted a range of job types including full-time, part-time, internship, and summer opportunities. Among the attendees were two alumni with inspiring journeys, each eager to give back to the university that shaped their careers. Luke Fabian and Brandon Walker, both graduates from the Class of 2014, brought unique opportunities and perspectives to the event.
