GoDaddy + SoDA = <3

Posted on October 18, 2011 | Leave a comment

Hey SoDA!

Our first meeting back from the midterm break will be given by Dan Casey, head of the mobile development team at GoDaddy. He plans on giving a two-parted presentation about mobile architecture and how to get hired out of college.
His tech talk will cover various things specific to mobile application development. Dan tends to have very interactive presentations, so feel free to come prepared with questions about personal projects!
During the second portion, expect to hear about GoDaddy-specific opportunities as well as general pointers on getting into other companies right out of college. Dan was an ASU student who got an internship with GoDaddy and was promoted within months, so his advice will certainly be relevant!

Meeting Details:
When: Wednesday, October 19th at 7:00pm
Where: BYAC 110 on ASU’s Tempe Campus (BYAC = Brickyard Artisan Court)
Focus: GoDaddy: Mobile Application Architecture / How to Get Hired Out of College

We look forward to seeing you there!

Engineering Passport Event Today

Posted on October 12, 2011 | Leave a comment

The Engineering Passport event is TODAY and we would love to see you there to hang out with us, talk with new ASU students about
what our organization has to offer, and see what other Engineering organizations at ASU have to offer.

The event runs from 5 – 7 p.m. in front of PV Main (Officers should meet in the PV Main Lobby at 4:45PM) There will be food provided for students (probably pizza).

If you would like to park near PV Main, the Stadium Structure allows crossparking after 4 p.m. if you have an ASU parking pass. Otherwise, you’ll need to find your own pay parking.

Because of scheduled time of the event, we will not be hosting a meeting tonight (We will resume weekly meetings next week with a very cool speaker).

Be sure to come and say hi!
