As noted earlier, AIAA will be hosting our second annual Networking Night this Thursday from 6-8pm in Gugg 218. A few aerospace companies from the area will be here to talk about what they do and what type of internship and career opportunities they have. This is a small-scale career fair-style event where you can talk more one-on-one with the company representatives. This event is free, and dress is business casual.
Right now we are expecting the following companies to attend:
-Aerojet
-Boeing
-TLG (The Loads Group)
-AMI
-ATS
and a couple others, tentatively
Hope to see you there!
Networking Night returns this year on November 10, from 6-8PM. You will be able to meet volunteer representatives from some local aerospace companies at this event. More detalis will be made available closer to the date.
There will be an outreach opportunity on December 2 at Sand Point Elementary. Contact Kat if you’re interested in volunteering for this event.
Good luck with midterms.
From Ben Dorcy:
The AIAA officers are putting on our first BBQ of the year this Thursday at 1:30-3:00 PM in the alley between Guggenheim Hall and the Kirsten Wind Tunnel! (weather permitting!)
We will be selling hotdogs for $1.50 and hamburgers/veggie burgers for $2. Note that this is different from our previous BBQ’s in that you pay for each item and there will not be other items like chips and such. You can get those from the lounge.
We could use some volunteers to help set up around 12:45 and to help clean up after 3. We could also use people with valid food handlers permits to cook/watch the cooking incase of nosy onlookers.
Please, only bring Aero/Astro students to the event. We didn’t buy enough food for everyone and their friends.
The forecast looks good right now but if it is raining on thursday at 1:30 we will cancel.
You probably already know that there is a career fair happening soon. Here is a little useful information from the Engineering Internship/Co-op Office.

We’re going to try again. From the outreach page,
“Bear Creek School would like some of our students to go talk to their science team (about 12 13-15 years olds) about the AA Department and what we do (they like hands-on activities). They want us to come out on May 25 (Wednesday) at 3PM. Is anyone interested in going, and can anyone think of any good hands-on activities for us to do with them? Email Kat. If enough people are interested, she will try to figure out a carpool.”
Also, from NASA through the Co-Op office,
“The cooperative education students and interns at all of the NASA Center are joined by Co-op Agency Connections, a committee that spans every Center. NASA offers a multitude of opportunities for college, and even high school, students to work at their Centers located around the country and we hope that by reaching out to students and having them read our CACiN they will realize that students just like them can work for NASA.”

Dear fellow students,
This Friday, the AIAA is planning on hosting a BBQ outside by the UWAL at 12:45. We will be offering bottomless burgers with chips and sodas at $5.
Next Friday, we are planning a movie night at Guggenheim 220 at 6:30. The movie Selection will be announced soon, but get there early so we can all vote on which movie to watch and so we can see if we should order pizza.
Hope to see you there!
