with the University, and interview potential candidates for both
summer and full-time employment. Career XPO is hosted by the
School of Architecture and organized through the Undergraduate
Office, Lee W. Waldrep, Assistant Director; Carl G Lewis,
Advisor; Rhonda Frank, Secretary.

Information for Students
Students are able to 'interview' firms—to ask questions about
architecture and its future. For juniors, seniors and graduate
students this is a great opportunity to meet and interview the
representatives— many of whom are the decision-makers for hiring.
You will also want to sell yourself to them! For freshman and
sophomores, this is an exceptional time to find out more about
architecture from practitioners, laying the groundwork for future
employment.
Career Forum
The School of Architecture is bringing several select firms to present their approach to architecture, their
firm and its needs, and other topics beneficial to the hiring process. All students are encouraged to attend
and participate in the Question and Answer period to follow the presentations.
Grad students, seniors, juniors, sophomores, and freshmen Career XPO is for you! This is a great
time to get involved by volunteering to work and meet the employers! Contact Carl Lewis
(cglewis1@illinois.edu, 333-7720) about how you can help!
