EWI- Evening With Industry

General Information

The Society of Women Engineers is sponsoring its annual Evening with Industry (EWI) banquet on February 2, 2009 at the Great Hall in the Memorial Union from 5-9 pm. This event promotes networking in a comfortable setting, between corporate representatives and engineering students, through a career fair, dinner, and awards ceremony. While companies are exposed to the University of Wisconsin campus, both representatives and students are able to interact in a smaller, more personal setting, discussing potential career opportunities in engineering. In years past, the event has successfully hosted over 40 companies and 200 students. Following this event, the College of Engineering will be holding its spring career fair on February 4-5, 2009.
