EECS-MIME INDUSTRY RECEPTION! The Fourth Annual EECS & MIME Industry
Reception is happening on Wednesday, February 18 (the evening
before the Engineering Career Fair), 5:30–7:45 pm in the Kelley
Engineering Center. This event is for all MIME students—freshmen
through PhD. It features an hors d’oeuvres reception
in the KEC Atrium followed by two break-out sessions where you’ll meet with
selected companies in smaller groups. The Industry Reception is a free event designed to help you
meet and network with a variety of industry representatives in a low-key
setting. Some organizations are hiring for internships and full-time positions,
others just want you to get better acquainted with their company. Even if
you’re not looking for work right now, it’s very important to get out there and
start forming relationships with the people who might one day help find you an
internship or job. For more event info and a list of participating companies, click
here. Online registration for
the Industry Reception opens this Thursday, February 5. A reminder e-mail will be sent out
on Thursday, with a link to the registration form. For the best selection of
company break-out sessions be sure to sign up early! Also, ALL MIME STUDENTS (whether attending the reception or
not) are invited to upload a copy of your resume for inclusion in a resume book
