The week of September 14th was a busy week for Computer Science majors thinking about future career opportunities.  On Monday, September 14, the Computer Science Resources Consortium fall luncheon and Career Fair were held in Owens Banquet Hall.  The CSRC welcomed 10 new companies: Abraxas Corporation, Comcast, CSC, ExcelaCom, G3 Technologies, General Dynamics AIS, OPOWER (Positive Energy), Qualcomm, SAIC, and Sapient.

The members of the Computer Science Resources Consortium, the department’s industrial affiliates group, were on campus to learn more about the department and to recruit students as full-time employees, interns, and cooperative education students. CSRC companies provide support to the Department of Computer Science and student groups. 

Attending the luncheon were CS undergraduate scholarship winners.  Forty-five undergraduates were recognized for receiving scholarships for 2009/10 academic year.  The majority of these funds were provided by the College of Engineering, with the Department of Computer Science, the CSRC, and four CSRC members, CGI, Lockheed Martin, HPTi, and NetApp also contributing to the total. 

All 29 companies participated in the Career Reception, held in Owens Banquet Hall. This career fair allowed CS undergrads and graduate students to discuss career opportunities and industry trends with CSRC representatives. 

Also during the week of the 14th, the CSRC members had the opportunity to have dinner and speak with CS faculty.  They also visited several classes and spoke with Computer Science and General Engineering majors to discuss CS as a major, the variety of opportunities in the field, and the abundance of jobs available to CS majors.
