Complete by 5th week winter quarter.
Decide what day of the week (M,Tu, W, Th) you would like to host the Career Fair. Second week is the best week to host the fair as this puts you far enough away from the UCLA Career Center Engineering & Tech fair during 4th week and as early in the quarter as possible. When going in to reserve AGB have a preferred date and a back up date picked out. Previous years fairs have been on Monday (2011), Thursday (2012), Wednesday (2013).
You can check to see when your tentative classes will be for Fall 14 and check on ChE104B and ChE104D as Seniors cannot miss these lab classes as a start point for choosing a date. Ideally a Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday works best for the fair.
If class schedules have not been released yet, check the registrar for previous years' schedules and email Kim Claffey to give OASA a heads-up about lab class time scheduling.
Complete as soon as possible after reserving Ackerman Grand Ballroom
It is important to let the companies who came to the previous year's career fair know when the coming year's fair will be held as soon as possible. This allows them to include AIChE at UCLA's fair in their budgets and in their recruiting schedule. Companies schedules can fill up fast and budgets run out just as quickly.
Who to send "Reserve the Date" emails: (Please keep who to contact updated)
Note about the Career Center: It is also important to let the UCLA Career Center know about the date of our 1st General Meeting of Fall quarter as soon as possible so they do not schedule a chemical engineering focused information session on the same day and time as our General Meeting. In exchange for not scheduling a ChemE focused information session during our first General Meeting, in previous years we have coordinated with them to publicize the ChemE focused information sessions during fall quarter. It is also important to note that the Career Center cannot officially support our Career Fair unless they are 100% running it. This is to shield themselves of any liability if something were to go wrong on our end.
