This year's Affinity Reception was a major success with over 38 company recruiters taking their time to stop by our table and interact with our members. We were able to discuss possible collaborations with respected companies such as PPL Corporation, Minitab, Toyota, Northrop Grumman, L'Oreal, Texas Instruments, Blackbaud and more. Not only were we able to publicize all of the work and event programming SHPE is doing, but several members were able to successfully market themselves in hopes for a possible internship this year. The reception itself was a very comforting environment with the recruiters being charismatic, approachable, and funny-- one recruiter even brought us a special surprise. In the form of a very gracious donation, our sponsors at Northrop Grumman personally provided us with a check for $1000 to be used for our club's affairs. We plan to distribute this donation in the form of a book fund available only to our paid members in the Winter quarter. It is through wonderful grants and donations from sponsors such as Northrop Grumman that SHPE here at RIT is able to continue to grow and provide free services such as trips to National Conferences, social nights, food and drinks at meetings, scholarships and more. Thank you!
