[GAMBIT-UROPS-summon] REMINDER: GAMBIT UROP IAP and Spring? - Info Session: Friday, 10.Dec 4p-6p (NE25-3rd floor)

[Richard Eberhardt]

Hi all - just a reminder to RSVP if you plan on attending our info session for UROPs today.

This info session is specifically for hiring people able to work during IAP (either on projects only lasting through IAP or continuing into the Spring).

We will be hiring for people only able to work for Spring in February (Save the date: February 4th, 5PM).

If you are unable to work during IAP, I still encourage you to come to this info session if you've never been to one before, to learn more about what our UROP program entails.

If you're interested in IAP work but unable to attend, PLEASE let me know.

I hope to see you all today!

Rik Eberhardt
Studio Manager
Singapore-MIT GAMBIT Game Lab
