The College of Engineering and Computer Science (ECS) hosted its annual Career and Internship Fair as part of Syracuse University’s Fall 2024 Career Week. Coordinated by the ECS Office of Student Success and Career Services, the fair allowed students to network with employers from approximately 100 companies. Students also had the opportunity to connect with ECS alumni, faculty, and staff. Employer Partners Novelis, Clean Harbors, Micron, and SRC, Inc. were represented at the fair.  

“I graduated from Syracuse in 2014 and now I’m here as a recruiter for Davis-Standard,” says mechanical engineering alum Daniel Broe ‘14. “Syracuse has always welcomed me back to events like this. It feels like home, it’s always good to be back. Students are also excited for opportunities so it’s a great opportunity for both parties.” 

“Coming to career fairs is a great way to get exposure, talk to other people, and find out what you want to get out of your life,” says computer science student Joseph Onwe ‘25.  

“It was a really great turnout. Everyone was engaged, and it was great to interact with a bunch of students you normally don’t have contact with” says environmental engineering student Claire Kuiken ‘26.  

“This is my third or fourth year coming back here now as a recruiter for Barton & Loguidice. Having graduated six years ago, it’s really exciting to come back every single year,” says civil engineering alumna Emily Mahana ‘18. “This fair is particularly exciting because it’s exclusive to engineering students so I’m looking forward to having one-on-one time with engineering alumni and focusing on recruiting more students in civil engineering.” 

“I’m very hopeful since in the last career fair, I got a full-time internship with Stantec over the summer so I’m looking forward to companies and recruiters the fair has this year,” says mechanical engineering student Fernando Poli ‘25.   

“As a freshman, Career Services has a lot of great resources for students, and I was impressed with all the companies that came in today for students too,” says computer science student Mariama Barry ‘28.  

“It was an eye-opening experience where I had the chance to engage with several companies and recruiters…Each conversation offered a glimpse into opportunities that align with my computer science major, from full-time positions to internships,” says computer science student Aicha Gory ‘26. “The event was a valuable learning experience, particularly in understanding the dynamics of networking.”
