Kicking off this new partnership is Collins Day on Thursday, March 10, when Collins reps will be on campus at the Engineering Building and Still Hall to talk to students about job opportunities in the aerospace industry, hold meet and greets and conduct a mini-job fair complete with on-the-spot interviews.
