District supports Career Fair during Engineer Week Boston

Engineer Week Boston was originally scheduled for February 9, 2017. Due to a severe snowstorm forecasted, the organizers postponed it until February 27 at the same venue, the Wyndham Boston Beacon Hill Hotel. The career fair usually attracts over 300 engineering students from colleges and universities throughout the northeast. Kristen Paul, from the Geotechnical Engineering Section and Josh Helms from the Regulatory Division staffed the District booth. Feedback from the staffers showed 20-25 engineering students stopped by the booth to talk about the Corps and gather information on our District and the potential vacancies. Our ACEIT staff assisted with setting up the Your Corps in New England display as well as taking photographs during the evening event. Photo# 353A2065
