Cissy George's Career Fair Tips

Cissy George visited us the Monday after the career fair with the recruiters from Verizon to share what impressed them the most and least. Cissy and other UMass Grads also talked about the most common mistakes new networkers make, tricks on how to get comfortable in an uncomfortable situation, how to open and close a conversation and other needed info to help us land our dream job/internship.

Girls Scouts from all over MA came to UMass this weekend to Discover engineering. They built a kicking machine and a high rise. They even made some ice cream with dry ice. And in the end they unexpectedly ran into the Justice League!
