STEM Events and Opportunities 9-25-26

Dear Students,

I want to draw your attention to a few super exciting events next week.  Wednesday, September 30th, the Loeb will be hosting our second in person Job and Internship Fair! This is a great chance to meet with representatives from all kinds of organizations and learn about opportunities for this summer and beyond.  If you are interested, but unsure of how to talk with these representatives or get the most out of the event, consider attending one of the “How to Work a Job Fair” events on the 29th.  (Details below)

I am also thrilled to announce that I will be co-hosting “Preparing for the Coding Interview: Insights & Advice for Entering the World of Tech” with ACM and WiCS on October 1st.  Join us at 6pm in E108 to learn about this crucial step in interviewing for roles in tech and talk with alumni currently working in the field to hear their advice on preparing to enter this field.

Best,

 Carolyn
