Employers have found success with hosting coffee chats, lunch and learns, trivia or game nights, site visits and tours, gift bags for finals week, and more!<\/p>\n<p>Most info sessions are held in the late afternoon or evening to utilize Engineering classroom space \u2013 these rooms are available after 4:00 pm to avoid conflicts with class schedules. Limited space is available on the third floor of Marston Hall for daytime events like coffee chats or lunch and learn events.<\/p>\n<p>Want to host a Company Site Visit?
