Just a reminder, don't forget to go for the Job Expo tomorrow from 2-5:30 in the Alumni gym!

It is a great chance to meet with new people, hear about new firms, and great opportunities ahead!

Also, if we can get 10 people to come in and register their names under EMI, we can get $100 in funding! Come if you can.

Don't forget, we have our meeting today at 6 in KOBC room 242!
