2016 GT Co-Op & Internship Fair

Student Center Ballroom

The annual GT Co-Op and Internship Fair will take place in the Student Center Ballroom on January 26th, 27th, and 28th. HAVING REGISTRATION ISSUES? There has been a had a plethora of student inquires centered around the upcoming co-op/internship fair. Most of the concerns have been about students not being able to 'RSVP'. The primary reason for this year's 'RSVP' process is to try to avoid extremely long lines. C2D2 says they understand the frustration and concern with sessions of the Co-op/Internship Career Fair being quickly filled. They want to ensure that everyone has an opportunity to attend the fair so in addition to those students who were able to register, they will have 'walk-in' registration as well. When students arrive they will check-in at the Student Center Theater on the first floor. As students who have registered leave the ballroom they will be admitting walk-ins. They are planning to clear the ballroom at the conclusion of each 2 hour session. You must have registered by January 1st to attend. More questions? Contact Dennis Lindsay. (see info below)
