Alumni Networking Event

TCNJ XE Alumni Association and Student Chapter organized an Alumni Networking event that took place on September 7th. The event provided an opportunity for junior and senior civil engineering students to participate in resume and interview workshops, and to ask general career and graduate school questions during the Alumni Panel part of the event. Students also had an opportunity to learn about the individual experiences of our Alumni and become familiar with the work done by various civil engineering companies. The event was a success and we hope to start a new tradition by bringing it back next year.
