The career fair will bring companies from both the United States and Asia,
with a focus on international full-time and internship opportunities.

We are currently recruiting organizers to fill our committee positions, and
are accepting applications (due Sunday, May 3 @ 11:59 PM).  This is an
exciting opportunity to gain leadership experience, network with Asia's top
corporations, and impact the MIT community.  We are looking for both
undergraduate and graduate students with diverse experiences and
backgrounds.
