Each year the Beavers, a heavy civil construction group, host a great tour of a really cool construction project. This year it is in Kirkland on the I-405/NE 85th St. interchange project. This is a $234 million project that will create a 3-level interchange with a unique mid-level multimodal hub for bus rapid transit, carpoolers, bike riders, pedestrians, and express lane users. This project is being built by Graham Contracting, who are also building a number of other projects in the area. The mid-level multimodal hub is really a cool concept (you can see it envisioned here).
What: Tour the I-405/NE 85th Street interchange project
When: Friday, October 18th, 2024 from 7:45 a.m. to 1:45 p.m.
Where: Kirkland, WA area
Why go: see a really interesting construction project and hear about it form those who are building it
If you sign up, and later decide you cannot go, PLEASE remove your name so someone else CAN go. 😊
Students,
I am hoping you already know, but the CEE Career Fair is this Wednesday!
What: CEE Career Fair
When: Wednesday, October 16th, 2024 from 1:30 – 4:30 p.m.
Where: HUB Ballroom
Why go: Get a job, get an internship, meet people in industry
In the last few years, 30-50% of our internships were gotten via a career fair contact. There are so many jobs and internships available there that you really must go. Even if you think you are not qualified (you really are). Please take the time to prepare for this career fair and then just go and CRUSH IT. I cannot overemphasize how important it is to attend this career fair. There are 95+ companies that want access to YOU. Give them what they want and get what you want.
Steve’s pick-to-click companies: I like them all! But, if you don’t know where to start, check these out…
