2011-12 Job and Internship Postings

CEL Career Connections Program

An array of corporate recruiters (many of whom are former students!) will be on campus this fall to interview students interested in analytical and quantitative summer internships and jobs in industry. Here is the detailed handout of companies, opportunities, information sessions and application deadlines. Here is a daily calendar if that format is easier. Please encourage students/advisees to attend the information sessions to learn more about their options. Here is a link to our fall on-campus recruiting website that will walk students through the process and answer many common questions.
