SEA is organizing a group visit of 15 people to the headquarters of SOM in Chicago. This is to introduce students to the biggest structural engineering firms and the kind of work they do in a professional setting. SEA will also provide free transportation and free lunch at Giordano’s.
We do need some help however. In order to take 15 people, we are looking for volunteers to help drive us to downtown Chicago. Drivers will be reimbursed completely for the gas and toll bills.
There are only a few open spots remaining and preference will be given to those who can drive.
When: Friday, January 23 Time of Departure: 6/6:30 am Attire: Business Casual Contact: Mak Malik / malik14@illinois.edu
