MEPConnect - Network with MEP Students

MEP is committed to supporting our students in their professional development. We believe it's important to offer multiple opportunities for our students to interact with our industry supporters and think MEPConnect is a great avenue for this kind of networking. If your company/organization is interested in connecting with MEP students for a workshop, info. session, tech. talk, etc., MEPConnect is a great option!

MEPConnect

How does it work?

  1. Available dates are selected by the MEP Team for each academic quarter. We select dates based on the timing of the quarter that we believe are best suited for optimal student attendance. 
  2. Due to the pace of the quarter and our advising responsibilities, the MEP Team can only coordinate up to three MEPConnect events in Winter 2024
  3. Please note: Due to workload, MEP is unable to coordinate sessions during busy advising times. Our primary roles are to serve students who need our availability during these peak times.
  4. To maximize student attendance, we will only host one MEPConnect event a week. 
  5. Events are held Monday through Friday, must be scheduled at least three weeks in advance, and are typically up to 60 minutes long.
  6. Events can be virtual (via Zoom) or in-person in the MEP Study Room. This preference can be specified in the request form below.

What is the cost?

A $250 coordination fee is put directly towards funding MEP services and MEP’s partnership with Cal Poly Cares.

What is included?

  1. Coordination services (PLEASE NOTE: MEP cannot guarantee student attendance.)
  2. Marketing to MEP students via two stand-alone emails, social media (MEP's Instagram), and through MEP-supported clubs (NSBE & SHPE).
  3. Custom flyer.
  4. Student interest form to be shared prior to the event.
  5. A list of student attendee names and emails.
  6. Access to our MEP Resume Database.
