This will be a great opportunity for those looking for an internship this summer to get an idea of what opportunities there are out there so be sure to attend!
CSEE Open House Volunteering On Saturday, October 19th we will be having our fall open house for prospective students! To make it meaningful for these prospective students who are considering choosing UB, we need current students to participate in this event by sharing their stories and experiences. This means chatting with prospective students and parents about your UB experiences in 140 Ketter Hall, walking prospective students from the SEAS presentation back to Ketter Hall, and walking around with groups of students as they tour our labs and club spaces. If you can help our Department, please send an email to Eva McGovern (meva@buffalo.edu). We would need help from between 8:30-9:00 a.m. until 12:00- 12:30 p.m. Breakfast and lunch will be provided!
