About 100 students, faculty and professionals gathered for a formal dinner for the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering at the Sofitel Hotel on March 31.
The event doubled as an opportunity for students to network and scout out job opportunities. Several delegates from companies joined in the festivities.

All Computer Science and Engineering students had the opportunity to make an impression with over a dozen potential employers at a Career Day organized under the auspices of Career and Placement Services and Concordia Counselling and Development.
Career Advisor Darlene Hnatchuk said that just shy of 1,000 students attended the March 30 event, the third career day in 18 months. Students can contact career counsellors through the Career and Placement Service website for workshops and tips on presenting themselves to potential employers.
