Society of Women Engineers - Evening with Industry Event
Every spring, SWE hosts Networking Reception, an event held the week of Career Days. It is an opportunity for SWE, Multicultural Engineering Program (MEP) members, and alumnae to network with recruiters from companies in a relaxed setting. This popular event allows for more personal interactions between company representatives, students, and alumnae allowing attendees to make meaningful, substantive connections. The additional interactions SWE and MEP students get with the recruiters help increase their chances of being remembered and scoring an interview for a job or internship. Both recruiters, students, and alumnae alike enjoy the event and find it extremely helpful.
Companies must be registered for Career Day in order to attend.
Date: Monday, January 29, 2024
Time: 5:30-7:00pm
Location: Friedhoff Hall, Green Center
Cost: $125 per company representative
