Hello everyone,
  I will be on campus February 7th and 8th for the Engineering Career Fair (7th) and for on-campus interviews on the 8th. The deadline for signing up for an interview is this Thursday, so I encourage you to let your students know about both events, and please ask them to contact the Career Center as soon as possible. Even though the career fair is designed for engineering students, Lincoln Laboratory is especially interested in mathematics majors, so I'll be available on the 7th to answer questions about the opportunities for mathematicians at the lab at that time. There will also be an information session on the 7th (location TBD).

Thanks,

John
