GEARE Alumni Panel

Monday, April 15

5:00 pm – 6:00 pm

BRNG 1254

 

GEARE will be hosting an informative panel discussion with our accomplished alumni, including graduate students and engineers in the work field! We will be asking the panelists a variety of questions about how their experiences were abroad with GEARE, advice they would give for students looking into studying or working abroad with GEARE, and how their experiences impacted them after they returned. The alumni will be joining us on a Zoom call, and students will attend in BRNG 1254 and can ask the alumni questions at the end. You do not have to be a future or current GEARE student to attend- we are excited to welcome anyone interested in learning more about GEARE or going abroad and the opportunities that come with this experience!

 

 

Industrial Scholarship Application Now Open!

 

The Purdue Engineering Student Council (PESC) is excited to announce that applications for the Industrial Scholarship are now open!   Every year, PESC hosts Industrial Roundtable, which is one of the largest student-run career fairs in the nation. One way that PESC enhances the job fair experience for students is by offering the Industrial Scholarship, which is sponsored by companies participating in the fair.

 

This is a merit-based scholarship that will be awarded to students who demonstrate a significant commitment to their education and community. It is open to all undergraduate engineering students at Purdue. The judges for the Industrial Scholarship are Purdue professors with experience in various fields, and they will evaluate all applications based on academic merit, volunteer work, and overall quality.

 

To apply for the Industrial Scholarship, please complete the application by May 31st, 2024 at 11:59 PM EST. We will notify all recipients at the beginning of the 2024 Fall Semester.

 

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at pescir.scholarship@gmail.com. Good luck to all applicants!
