Face to Face Expo

Occurred on: Saturday 4/4 9:00am
Place: Claremont Showgrounds, Robinson Pavillion
What:

Face To Face Expo
The Face to Face Expo was a two-way success in a sense that engineering students obtained 'bagfuls' of company recruitment information and probably had a few words with their future employers while participating companies managed to advertise their exciting employment opportunities. All who attended the expo should have received a CD titled '2009 Undergraduate Vacation Work & Graduate Employment Handbook' which provides company profiles and recruitment details of each participating company. If you've missed the expo, don't frow because below is a copy of the handbook.
