Engineering council to host fair
Corporate recruiters from 90 companies will meet in Memorial Student Center
By CHERYL HELLER
Reporter of THE BATTALION
The companies work in conjunction with the
A&M Career Center and the Cooperative Edu
cation Office.
Texas A&M's Student Engineers Council
will sponsor the Engineering Career Fair Sep
tember 9 and 10 in the Memorial Student Cen
ter. The fair will bring together almost 200 cor
porate recruiters with senior engineering ma
jors.
The fair, which is held to interest students in
jobs in the field of engineering, will feature
representatives from 90 companies, including
Vulcan Chemicals, Vanity Fair Mills, Stone and
Webster Engineering, the Radian Corporation
and Martin Marietta Energy Systems.
"We had about 89 companies at the
fair last year, and we have 90 this
year, so I think we're doing very
well. The economy hasn't hurt us at
all."
-Doanh Tran, co-chairman
This year's fair will not include Dow Chemi
cals, Marathon Oil Co., Shell Oil Company,
and British Petroleum, who have all been par
ticipants in the past.
Co-chairman for the event, Doanh Tran,
does not feel that the economy has affected the
petroleum companies' absences.
"We had about 89 companies at the fair last
year, and we have 90 this year, so I think we're
doing very well," Tran said. "The economy
hasn't hurt us at all."
Fair hours are from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on the
second floor of the MSC.
A semi-formal invitation only banquet will
be held at Duncan Dining Hall on Sept. 9., and
a casual fajita reception will be held at the Bra
zos Center on Tuesday, Sept. 8.
Texas A&M organizations will
open their doors to students Sun
day at the Memorial Student Cen
ter Open House.
Julie Reyna, vice president of
MSC public relations, said the
Open House is a unique opportu
nity for students to discover the
extra-curricular activities that are
available on campus.
"This is the only University
event where all the student orga
nizations can come together in
one place," she said. "It gives the
students one place to go to find
out how they can get involved
with the things that interest
them."
Gina Burnett, director of MSC
external relations, said especially
freshmen can benefit from attend
ing the Open House.
"Open House offers freshmen
the opportunity to find out what
A&M has to offer and allows
them to get involved immediate
ly," she said.
Over 200 student organizations
will be represented at Open
House to satisfy a wide variety of
interests, Burnett said.
The different types of organiza
tions students can see at Sunday's
event include: international
groups; fraternities; sororities;
dance, music, and art societies;
student government; service orga
nizations; honor societies; re!
gious groups; MSC council
sports and recreation clubs; 21
other groups.
Reyna said this year's
House will be slightly differe:
than previous years with more
an emphasis on the entire Unive
sity Center Complex. Shesai
that in the past year, construct!!
