ATTENTION IME AND  ME PRE-ENG, PRO-ENG, AND GRAD STUDENTS:

 

There are a few spots left for the MIME–EECS Student–Industry Reception taking place tomorrow night (Feb. 20), 5:30–7:45 pm in the Kelley Engineering Center. This reception is a great opportunity to network with members of industry, get information about engineering jobs and internships, hand out resumes, etc. The event features a large-group hors d’oeuvres reception in the Kelley Atrium followed by break-out sessions with individual companies.

 

Today is your LAST CHANCE to register. Sign up for the reception and find out more about the participating companies at http://eecs.oregonstate.edu/undergraduate/febReception/index.htm.  

 

Also, ALL IME and ME students (whether attending the reception or not) are invited to upload a copy of your resume for inclusion in the electronic resume book we’re preparing for industry participants. Upload your resume at http://eecs.oregonstate.edu/undergraduate/febReception/resumeUpload.htm

 

Hope to see you there!
