As Virginia Tech's Student Engineers' Council plans the 1996 Engineering Exposition, a job fair, the students are now turning down offers to participate from such companies as Microsoft and Martin Marietta because they attempted to register after the deadline. Most years, late registration would not be a problem, but 1996 is a banner year. Some 4,000 to 5,000 students are expected to attend EXPO '96 September 17 and 18.
EXPO is one of the largest engineering-college job fairs in the United States.
The exhibits are open to all students and interested persons. EXPO '96 will be held in Squires Student Center.
