| Seattle University Engineering Mentor Night |
|
Wednesday, November 29th
6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Seattle University, 901 12th Avenue, Seattle
Seattle University (SU) is hosting an engineering mentor night for their students on Wednesday, November 29th from 6 to 8 pm and they are particularly seeking mentors in Electrical and Computer, Mechanical, and Civil Engineering.
The event will start with a panel discussion of invited SU alumni who will field questions from the students. Following the panel discussion, the students will rotate among tables with the mentors for discussions. To facilitate the discussions, mentors are asked to bring a sample of work (reports, photos, drawings, etc.) to help the students better understand what they might do in different disciplines of engineering.
If you are available to attend, please sign-up at the following link and share with your colleagues:
Mentors will be sent final details, directions, campus map and parking passes a week prior to the event.
Thank you for volunteering and giving your time and talent to encourage our next generation of engineers! For questions please contact Jason Salazar, the PSEC SU Mentor Night Volunteer Coordinator @ [email protected].
