Hi all,

How are you doing after the two career fairs earlier this quarter? Well, if you have an interest in building things, here’s your opportunity. Graham is coming to More Hall to talk about their company and their open positions for interns and full-time hires. Please come. The pizza is good, the jobs are real, and time is convenient. It’s like a happy hour with jobs and internships!
