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
The 3 volunteers will be registering mentors and mentees from 5:15-6:15pm. Then they are welcome to join us in the reception and social mingling afterwards until 7:30pm.
