Hi all, With only 9 days to sign up for the Internship Fair at the "early bird" rate of $25, I wanted to pass on some incentives to attend. This fair will help you in several ways besides meeting students, even though that is very important. You will be able to connect with other companies at the fair -- while not crowding out students, please!! Some major businesses are attending. I am not at liberty to disclose names, but you'll recognize them on sight. And you will have a chance to meet a number of UMass officials and faculty I am inviting to do a walk through. As you all know, UMass is a major employer and major purchaser of subcontractor services. Rich Roth, our webmaster, has been working hard to create a database for UMass of Hidden-Techies. It will help his cause if many of you exhibit, and if there's no space to exhibit come as an attendee. Of course, having food donated by Court Square Data Group in Springfield is the reason I'm coming (joke!). However, remember, that the first mission of this fair is to connect to students to help them and utilize their skills to grow your companies (or just give you a break). See you there, I hope!
