Dear Community Partners, Students and Alumni:

In our attempt to prepare people for the ever-changing world of work, we ask that you participate in Networking Night for the Sciences & Technologies to be held on April 5, 2007 from 5:30 pm - 8:00 pm in the Van Curler Room in Elston Hall at Schenectady County Community College. 

This event is all about communicating what the Capital Region has to offer in the areas of Science & Technology.  By bringing together business and educational experts, students and alumni will be able to make clearer decisions regarding their career paths and choices for further educational training.  This gathering will also allow the community to understand how SCCC is positioning itself to support the needs of business and industry. Your contribution to this event is important and we ask that you review your schedule inorder to participate. 

Please review the enclosed agenda, event description and participants to best prepare for this stimulating evening.  There is no fee to participate. Hot & cold hors d’oeuvres and beverages will be provided.  If you have questions, please call Cheryl Gerstler at 518.381.1334.
