The Career Fair Committee is seeking volunteers to help with the 5th Annual GT Biotechnology Career Fair, www.careerfair.bme.gatech.edu, on September 17 and the days surrounding the fair. Volunteering for Biotech Career Fair events allows students to get to know how the career fair is being set up and organized. It also allows students gain experience and perspective from the host stand point. We will need 6 volunteers Wednesday (Sep. 16) late afternoon (4pm) and 2 that evening (6-8pm) many more all day on Thursday (Sep. 17) from 8AM – 6 PM, as well as a few on Friday morning (10-12am). Traditionally, we have volunteers sign up for 1 or 2-hour time blocks – if you can stay longer that’s fine too. If you are interested in volunteering to help with the career fair, please email Stacie Chvatal at stacie.chvatal@bme.gatech.edu. Please indicate ALL time(s) you would be able to help and the total number of hours you would like to volunteer. We will send you an email letting you know what time you have been signed up for based on the information you sent us. Detailed information can be found below:
