Alumni - How to Get Involved
Alumni from the University of Toronto
can easily get involved in a variety of events held throughout the
year. Events
being held include career panels, networking receptions, the annual
career
fair, job shadowing, informational interviews and the guest speaker
series.
As part of the Leaders of
Tomorrow Program, the MIE Department hosted a Student/Alumni
Networking
Breakfast in November 2007. The event was met with great success.
It gave
students the opportunity to learn more about the different career paths
our
alumni take. It also gave alumni the opportunity to share their
experiences and
network with other MIE alumni.
The theme of this event
will be
Interview prep. I am looking for alumni who will be willing to share
interview
tips and advice with our students. We are also going to have you
conduct
mini-mock interviews with the students and offer feedback on their
performance.
There are some really great services offered here
through the Engineering
Career Centre to help students with job preparation, but we think there
is
great benefit in the students being able to practice with and receive
tips from
our own alumni. After all, who better to guide them then those
who have
been through the job searches and are now on the other side of the
interview
table.
Event Details
Date: Thursday April 3rd,
2008
Location: Room 202, Galbraith Building,
35 St George Street
Time: 7 am – 9 am
This event will allow
alumni to re-connect with the department and offer guidance and advice
to
students currently studying in MIE. We encourage you to re-engage with
the
department and fellow alumni by taking part in preparing the next
generation of
graduates to enter the work force fully prepared.
Students prefer speaking
directly
to alumni, as alumni have been through the same education system, and
these
events help to facilitate such communication.
Please click here to
register for the upcoming April 3rd event. We look forward to having
you back
on campus!
