<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: rgb(50, 49, 48); font-size: 12pt;">To the Instructors in Engineering,</span><span style="color:#323130"><br>
<br>
</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: rgb(50, 49, 48); font-size: 12pt;">The Engineering Career Fair is taking place on Thursday, February 17th from 10 AM to 3 PM.</span><span style="color:#323130"><br>
<br>
</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: rgb(50, 49, 48); font-size: 12pt;">The Career Fair is an increasingly important day in the academic calendar for our students. Attending the career fair is often the first step in securing
internships, co-op positions, and also permanent employment upon graduation. And as our enrollment has grown, correspondingly, the traffic at the Career Fair has also become busy enough that students very likely end up missing all classes between 9 AM and
4 PM. For these reasons, I am making the following request to all of you:</span><span style="color:#323130"></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;background:white">
<span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif; color:#323130"><br>
</span></p>
</div>
<div>
<ol start="1" type="1" style="margin-bottom: 0in;margin-top:0in">
<li class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color:#323130;margin-bottom:12.0pt;background:white">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Please make every effort to provide alternative learning opportunities for the course material that is covered on February 17. Making available a recording of the class lecture of that
day would be a great way to help our students.</span></li><li class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color:#323130;background:white">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">In addition, please make every effort to avoid having tests, quizzes, or other assessments on that day (Feb 17). Your students will be very grateful and appreciative, if given this consideration.</span></li></ol>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;background:white">
<span style="color:#323130"><br>
</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: rgb(50, 49, 48); font-size: 12pt;">Thank you for your cooperation and please contact me if you have any questions.</span><span style="color:#323130"></span></p>
