The College of Science will hold its first Career Night on Wednesday 27 February from 5-8 pm in SUB II. Employers representing all the disciplines in the college will be there. Program schedule will be as follows:

4:30-5:00 student check-in
5:00-5:15 introduction and welcoming remarks
5:30-6:30 panel discussions (panels of employers)
6:30-7:30 reception where students can meet employers (pizza will be served)

A list of employers will be distributed closer to the event, as will a list of each panel and the topics to be discussed. There will be several panels running simultaneously on different topics. Employers will be discussing what they are looking for when they hire, pointers for students seeking jobs & internships, and the employment outlook in their areas, among other things.

We would like this to be an annual COS event at which students can learn about job possibilities, sharpen their job-hunting skills, and have the opportunity to talk to employers directly. If you are actively seeking a job, summer employment or internship this year, bring your resume. But more importantly, whether or not you are in the job market now, just come to learn more about the employment scene for your discipline. Your presence will help this event be a success. We are hoping for good representation from students.

Please join us on 27 february for Career Night. If you think you will come, please reply to cos@gmu.edu so we will know how many students to expect. I look forward to seeing you there.
