Career Fair Volunteers Needed

The Career Fair Committee is seeking volunteers to help with the 6th Annual GT Biotechnology Career Fair, www.careerfair.bme.gatech.edu, on September 16 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. 15) late afternoon (4pm) and 2 that evening (5-7pm), and many more all day on Thursday (Sep. 16) from 8AM - 6 PM. 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.

Volunteers will each receive a small gift and be entered into a drawing to win laser pointer pens. Detailed information can be found below:
