Greetings from the CPD!

I am writing to share that we are hosting a spring Employer Connections Fair for the first time this year. Please encourage your Tuck, Thayer, TDI, Graduate Arts & Sciences and all other students you work with to Save the Date!

The fair will take place on Tuesday, April 4 from noon until 4pm in Alumni Hall and Top of the Hop. Employers who are still looking to hire entry-level talent and summer 2017 interns will be in attendance. Over 50 employers will host booths, representing government agencies, non-profit and startup organizations, and more. The fair is open to all students and students do not need to RSVP!


Students who want to learn more can click here http://www.dartmouth.edu/~csrc/recruiting/connectionsfair.html. You can also direct any interested employers to view more information here.


Thanks for your help and let us know how we can help you as you are planning your own events this spring term as well.

Best wishes,
Fiona

Sign-up to Present a Poster at the Dartmouth Graduate Student Poster Session: Link below

The poster session is scheduled for Tuesday, April 11, 5-7:30 pm in Alumni Hall. Presenters must be able to attend the full session.

To sign-up to go https://dartmouth.co1.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_d68fnrG6ESp1Ch7

(Since there are limited spaces, now is the time to check with your advisor to see if s/he would like you to present. FYI… in the past, advisors have asked me why their students are not presenting.)

The poster session, scheduled for the Tuesday, April 11, 5-7:30 pm in Alumni Hall is being organized as part of Graduate Student Appreciation Week and will display posters by Dartmouth graduate students. The poster session is to display to other graduate students/postdocs, undergraduate students, faculty, and administrators the research and scholarly activity currently underway at Dartmouth.

Prizes of $200 will be awarded for the top three posters.

Posters will be judged on clarity of visual presentation, as well as on how well the poster presenter can talk (briefly, 3 minutes!) about his/her work in terms understandable by a non-specialist (though the poster itself may be highly technical). In addition, only one presenter per poster.

**** Poster Size****
We encourage you to use the Graduate Studies Logo on your posters.
FYI...
Your poster should be no larger than 3 feet wide by 4 feet long. If for some reason your poster is larger, then you will be responsible for making sure it hangs on the allotted space.

Please note:
Only posters will be allowed for the presentation of your work i.e. that means no use of computers or other technical equipment. Additionally, only one person can present each poster.
