15th Annual IL-ITE Student Day

On November 18th, the Illinois Section of ITE hosted it's 15th Annual Student Day. The event was held at UIC and consisted of a packed day starting with a career fair and networking luncheons where students could have some much needed interaction with professionals. The event also had a resume review, where students could fine tune their resumes from a professional’s standpoint. Best of all, the event was FREE to students.

Big thanks to our sponsors that helped out with the event and who made the whole thing possible! Additional thanks to Civiltech for sponsoring the Luncheon. We look forward to continuing to create value back to our student members, and to strengthen the future of the transportation industry with events like this.
