Date and time
Location
The FLASK
Welch 2.110 University of Texas at Austin Austin, TXDescription
This is the best way for to meet each of the Mentors and find your match! Each Mentor should be looking for 1-2 student teams they want to work with and each student team should be looking for 2-3 Mentors they want to work with.
Take a look at the list of companies before you come and identify the ones you find most interesting.
It's important that you show up on time, in order to get put in the rotation.
Here's how it works:
1. Each student team is assigned a table with a number from 1-10
2. Mentors introduce themselves to the group (2 mins each)
3. Each mentor sits down at a table
4. Every 5 minutes, the mentors get up and move to the next table
There is only going to be 1 night of speed dating. Every team member must attend the event.
We will have pizza there!
