Science and technology companies with career positions, part time work and internship opportunities will be on campus Oct. 10 from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. looking for the right UCSD student or alumnus to work for them.
Although the fair is geared toward students majoring in engineering, math, physics, computer science, biology, chemistry, biochemistry, and cognitive science, many companies will be looking for students with nontechnical majors and experience.

The job fair will be held on Library Walk. In the event of rain the fair will be moved to the Price Center Ballroom.
