Tri-mentoring Wrap Up - Call for volunteers

Categories: Career

Want to meet people from MSFT, EA, IBM, BOBJ, Telus, AAPL, and MDA? Or just looking for a chance to gain more volunteering experience, show leadership & get involved in CS?

Either way, come join us to run the Tri-mentoring Wrap Up event on April 3rd evening.

To show our appreciation, the 3 volunteers will be given both:

  • free catered dinner (reception food, better than pizza & pop)
  • free T-shirt
