As many of you know, Tuesday, February 15th, is Missouri S&T’s Spring Career Fair. Along with the Career Fair, there are other opportunities to meet company representatives and get your name out there. One of those is ACM’s SpringCareer Fair Dinner. Each semester ACM hosts a dinner where we invite actively hiring CS, CompE, and even IST companies along with students (graduate and undergraduate). This dinner is a way to meet the company representatives in person without the strain that the Career Fair makes. Although, ACM still encourages students to partake in the Career Fair, we strongly recommend you to come to our dinner. The details are below.
