Please see the following message from an HDR representative on their upcoming visit to CEE@Illinois:

**************************************

I am reaching out on behalf of my company, HDR, to inform you of our upcoming on campus visit.

 

We will be presenting at an ASCE General Meeting on Thursday October 17th, 2019 at 6pm in Newmark 2311. During this meeting, we are hoping to promote a company sponsored scholarship as well as open entry level positions, many of which are Transportation and Drainage/Wastewater positions.

 

The scholarships will be awarded to students interested in a graduate degree in the transportation industry, with the promise of a summer internship. The flyer for this scholarship is attached in this email.

 

Also attached in this email is a list of upcoming open entry level positions across the country. If you could inform any interested students about these openings, the scholarship, and presentation, it would be greatly appreciated.

Events for Students Interested in Teaching!

October 10, 2019

There are two new events coming up for all students interested in teaching!

 

The Teaching with Innovative Technology movie night and discussion panel will be looking at ways that technology is currently changing the ways that we teach and ways that teachers can best engage students using technology. We will watch two short films and then two speakers will present their research and how they are using technology to change the classroom.

 

We are also announcing our new series “The Life of a Teacher.” This series will respond to topics of interest expressed in the feedback and will involve current educators from the community. In Day in the Life of a Teacher, local teachers will be covering what a day looks like for them. They will be speaking about their average day and the different responsibilities and activities they are involved in, as well as the kind of school they are in and what the larger culture is like. Please RSVP for this event so we know we have enough space:https://forms.gle/xoLzUnNCDK7abygV6

 

Flyers are attached! Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
