What is Evening with Industry?
Evening with Industry is a dinner and networking event, that grants companies
a unique way to connect with the talented engineering students of Washington
University. It also provides students the opportunity to learn about the
careers available to them in the Engineering field, and make valuable company
contacts. For more information, please view the presentation and read the invitation letter from
EWI Chair Katie Poeltl.
Why should my company attend?
Not only does Evening with Industry provide companies direct interaction with
students specifically interested in the job opportunities the company offers,
it also grants students an introduction to the careers available to them once
they exit academia. The event benefits the Society of Women Engineers,
supporting our mission of stimulating women to achieve full potential in
careers as engineers.

Information for Students:
Bypass the lines of Career Fairs,
and HAVE DINNER with the company of your dreams. This year's Evening with
Industry will be held on Wednesday, September 17, 2007 from 6:00-9:00pm. The
evening includes time to meet and network with companies, a formal dinner,
and after-dinner presentations highlighting the work of specific companies.
This event is great for students seeking both summer internships and
full-time positions. Every student will be able to establish company
contacts as well as answer: where can I go with my degree? What am I really
getting myself into? Event organizers strive to seat students with employers
representing the student’s career interests. In addition, all employers who
take part in the event will receive a resume CD of all students in attendance
who submit their resume by the September 5th deadline.
Still unsure about careers out there? Come to learn about specific
opportunities in your field of engineering. Connect with the people who are
actually doing the hiring, and get ahead on your career search early in the
school year.
Seating is limited. Priority seating and discount available to registered
National SWE members. More Information can be found on the student invitation.
To attend this event please fill
