Monday's Columbus Day Open House
On Monday we held our Columbus Day Open House for prospective students. 101 students came with their families, making the total number of guests equal 207.
After check-in and a continental breakfast, everyone gathered in the HUB auditorium for a welcome to IIT. Gerald Doyle, Associate Vice President for Undergraduate Enrollment and Financial Aid, gave a brief history of IIT. Guests also heard from Dr. Tamara Sher, Associate Professor and Director of the Clinical Psychology Program in the Institute of Psychology, and Saagar Patel, president of our Student Government and student ambassador; both talked about student life, academics, and how students find the balance between academics and life outside of the classroom at IIT. Following the welcome we held a raffle, where student guests had a chance to win t-shirts from the IIT book store.
The day also included an overview of the IIT admission and financial aid processes, and a campus tour (on a beautiful, 82-degree day) led by our student ambassadors.
Lunch was provided, and guests got to sit and talk with various members of the IIT community: representatives from all sorts of campus departments were there, from the Career Management Center to Financial Aid to the Office of Spiritual Life.
After lunch came the last event of the day, the "explore your major" session; students and their families were given the opportunity to attend sessions of their choice, depending on their interests. These sessions were led by faculty from each of our academic departments, and discussions cover life as a student in that major, which includes the curriculum, post-grad opportunities, research being done, where some students go for grad school, and careers in their fields. Attendees got to view labs where appropiate.
It was a very successful day. If you weren't able to make it out for the Columbus Day Open House, be sure to come by for our next open house on Veterans' Day Weekend.

Cheers,

I like using http://www.Hound.com for job search due to the fact that the site shows only jobs from employer career pages. There are numerous advantages to finding jobs from employer career pages but the main ones are (1) these are not advertised and receive fewer applications and (2) there is no middleman (recruiter) forwarding your resume to the employer and (3) there are more jobs on employer career pages than job boards.
