Dear MEng Community,
We highly encourage you to join FI Connect and be a part of growing our engineering network! FI Connect helps us keep students informed about internship and job openings via the opportunities section. You can also join the Industry Mentorship Initiative to be matched with current students in the Mentorship section. The Events section lists upcoming community activities and workshops including those initiated by our Affinity Group program. Please contact Julie McShane with any questions and the platform or career programs: jmcshane@berkeley.edu
📣 Berkeley Engineering created an Alumni Spotlight page, you can learn more about your fellow Berkeley Engineering graduates, or complete this short questionnaire to participate yourself. New spotlights will be added throughout the year, and they want to hear your story! It would be great to have MEng graduates spotlighted!
