  • EWeek 2010 Kick-Off Presentation
    We are honored to have Dr. David Bradley (Dr. Dave) as our featured speaker for the 2010 EWeek kickoff on Tuesday, February 9th, at 10am in the EAFC.  Please plan to join us to hear Dr. Dave and to pick up your EWeek supplies.                                          

    It's that exciting time of the year again.  EWeek, or Engineers Week, is ready to start.  It's time to talk with our students.  Whether you are in science, technology, engineering, mathematics, computer science, business, or other fields, your career is an exciting, sharing time for our students.  We can expose them to their future career possibilities just by sharing our careers/jobs with them.   We can help our students because once you help them, it is hard to walk away or say no.  Please help our nation alleviate a talent gap that we face in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, or STEM, the international language of innovation. Please plan to join us in the Employee Activity Fitness Center  on Tuesday, February 9th, at 10 am, along with being able to register for a school(s) to visit, to get supplies, and to get training if needed.  Please remember that you can always use your own sharing ideas with our students.
