International Student Career Events

The Career Center and Engineering Career Services are excited to host international business expert and entrepreneur Mike Miller for two international student career events that are open to all students. We are hoping for high attendance to the first keynote speech (the room holds around 300 students), while the second event is a smaller, more interactive workshop (room holds 50 students) that will be very beneficial for international students who are serious about finding a job in the U.S.! We would greatly appreciate your help in getting the word out about these events.
