Practice makes perfect! Today, Career Services will be holding a mock interviewing event to help acclimate students to networking, career fairs, and the interviewing process.

The first in our series of first-year engineering project highlights. Our EDSGN 100 students are solving grand challenges by designing a solar-powered, energy-efficient LED lamps.

Just a quick reminder of upcoming events!
