For our first Student Night in years we had a great turn out. Forty-eight Ferris students from varying fields attended. Thank you to our three speakers who gave very practical advice with intermittent humor. Sue Hoff from Amway started the evening off with a discussion on persistence to get the job you want and the importance of networking through technical societies. Ed Fairman , a retired consultant, emphasized that there are a wide range of industries and occupations out there to pursue. He gave a summary of his various careers ranging from working as a lab technician to aerospace to uranium processing. Debbie Aliya from Aliya Analytical wrapped up the evening stressing the importance of engineering new product designs and discussing failure analysis. Several students stayed after the meeting to ask a few questions and get contact information for projects they were working on. Thank you Blaine Danley and Charlotte Howard-Holland for coordinating this meeting for us.
