This is a great opportunityfor any company who wants to get their name on the radars of students at the beginning of theircollege careers, and it benefits the students who need to practice selling themselves to industryrepresentatives and who may not know much about what engineers do day-to-day. Since thisprogram has existed for a dozen years, there are many SPM alumni who look forward to comingback to this event each year.

In fact, according to Hanover research, one key element forretention practices among higher education institutions in the United States and Canada is socialconnectedness [4].College students not only develop the knowledge and skills needed to prepare for a professionalcareer after they graduate, but also explore social connections throughout their collegeexperience.
