CISE Fall Career & Internship Fair
Tuesday, September 12, 2023
11:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.
The College of Integrated Science and Engineering will be hosting its Fall Career and Internship Fair on Tuesday, September 12th from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
Our Fair gives organizations an opportunity to connect with and recruit our biotech, computer science, engineering, geography, intelligence analysis, and integrated science and technology students.
Complementing their strong technical background, our students also focus on the human element of STEM and the context in which STEM solutions are implanted in our society and around the globe. Our graduates stand ready to take on the challenges facing us now and in the future and they're prepared to use their STEM knowledge and toolkit wisely as they enter a variety of professions.
