Junior Jumpstart

We are preparing for our next Junior Jumpstart on Thursday, May 13, 2010.  Registration information coming this Fall!

Attire: You should dress comfortably (the event is not a formal one) but realize that you will be hearing from hiring managers, admissions deans, and other professionals; you should look neat.
