OSU SASE: MOMO’s SOCIAL NIGHT! <3

On February 26, 2010, we had a huge social at MOMO’s, a bubble tea cafe which has games, karaoke, bowling, and pool. Since all our board members are part of other Asian associations, we decided to throw a big party with all the other major Asian associations as a final’s week pre-game, or an after-midterm break, which ever you like. We ended up with a big turn out, probably because of the FREE karaoke Lots of fun and LOTS of pictures! check them out on our facebook page

OSU SASE: GE AVIATION

On January 21, 2009, SASE held an informational meeting with GE Aviation. GE recruiters came to our school to tell our members of the co-op and internship opportunities at General Electric Aviation. Resumes were accepted, and of course free drinks and pizza. We had over 100 students show up to listen to the GE recruiter’s informational session, and it was a great success. 

SASE National: Recruiting Tips for PhD Students

Quoted from the lead PhD Recruiter for the Ohio State University Recruiting Team:

“For PhD candidates, it is easier to assess their leadership through their research. We usually probe if they can zoom in (details, technical mastery) and out (big pictures, strategic thinking) while talking about their projects. We also ask about their role on the project (“I” vs. “we”, “I” vs. “my advisor”), collaborations, source of research funding, participation on research grant writing, ideas on where the project can go after they graduate, ideas on the biggest challenges on their project.

Grad students are highly specialized and everyone has tons of research experience in very different ways. Our current approach allows us to probe them on the relatives same scale.

One additional way for PhD students to differentiate themselves is through activities outside of research (e.g. internships, leadership), that is a bonus.”

SASE National: UC Kickoff Meeting

On Feb. 25th SASE Celebrated it’s 6th chapter with the Kickoff Meeting for the University of Cincinnati.  The event was a tremendous success with over 25 students ranging in majors from ME, ChemE, ISE, Bio and even Industrial Design.  The SASE National Team was on hand to give UC SASE members a presentation on “How to Prepare for Your Future Career.”  The presentation was focused on what steps students needed to take, now, in order to be better prepared for building their resume and the interviewing process.  The SASE National Team also went over some of the different types of companies out there and how to best match your personality with the various companies out there during recruiting.  Students found this particularly interesting and centered the 30+min Q&A on questions about the National Team member’s experiences picking companies and why we ultimately chose P&G.  After all of the “business,” there was over an hours worth of networking and of course, free pizza sponsored by P&G.

We think it’s safe to say that UC SASE is off to a great start!  Go Bearcats!
