Resume Review Day - Friday, February 7th
Resume Review Day gives students an opportunity to get their resume reviewed by industry leaders before attending the Career Fair. It's a great way to begin preparing and allows students to meet employers in advance. Returning Spring 2025, students attending Resume Review Day will have the opportunity to also attend a preemptive student-led resume workshop to further develop and refine their resumes. It is strongly recommended that all underclassmen register to attend both sessions.
This is an incredible opportunity with limited capacity, so students are encouraged to sign-up in September.
Evening With Industry - Tuesday, September 17th
The Society of Women Engineers’ Evening With Industry is an opportunity to interact with highly sought-after female engineering and technology students. The event will consist of several rotational networking sessions and food will be served to all employee attendees and students. From new students to graduating seniors, industry representatives will be able to interact with a broad range of UC's female CEAS students. Students have the advantage of personal one-on-one or small group discussions with companies that hire their major.
Employers interested in attending this wonderful event will have the opportunity to purchase a set of two tickets as an add-on item when registering for the Career Week. Employers with any questions are encouraged to reach out to the UC Society of Women Engineers at uc.swe.events@gmail.com for further information.
