STUDENT CONGRESS and AWARDS
Jefferson Room West
8:00 am - 12:00 pm

The Student Congress is the crown jewel of student activities at our annual conference. This exciting event gives students from all schools the opportunity to socialize and work with students from different colleges and universities.

Every year, a new and innovative design problem is presented to challenge students to construct a "ship" that meets certain water tank requirements. Students are divided into design-build-test teams who compete for bragging rights and a cash prize.

Senior SNAME members judge the competition, which provides great opportunities for young members to network. The winning team photo appears throughout society publications. Each year the Student Congress attracts students and professionals alike, to witness the "ship construction" competition and it has been a smashing success. Come join them and to see the future leaders of the society and have some laughs.

Conference registration badge required.

12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

The SSC is composed of students from universities and maritime institutes representing Naval Architecture, Marine Engineering and Ocean Engineering. The session will be held for the purpose of election of officers, bylaw revisions and to set the next year's agenda.

 

STUDENT JOB FAIR
Hemisphere Room
2:00 pm - 5:30 pm

The Job Fair provides students with an excellent opportunity to meet with a variety of companies who are looking for prospective employees. The Job Fair is for all students from freshmen to seniors. Freshmen and sophomores can begin to see what opportunities are available to them after graduation, while juniors and seniors can gain a foothold, and possible employment, among various companies. Students, and students only, can sit down with recruiters to learn about the companies, discuss possible positions, and have a personal interview.

Please dress appropriately, bring your résumé, and be ready for an interview when you visit the Job Fair.

Student appointments may be scheduled by sign-up at the SNAME Booth in the Expo Hall. Please be sure to stop by as early as possible to obtain your preferred appointment time.
