[Peace] uiuc career fair - defense contractors, etc.

[msimon at uiuc.edu]

Friends,

As some already know, the Engineering Employment Expo will be going on Monday, Sept 8th thru Thursday, Sept 11th in Illini Union Rooms A, B and C.   

Just last year, participants included but were not limited to Lockheed Martin, Halliburton, Bechtel, Boeing, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon, Monsanto, BP, Exxon Mobil, the US Air Force, Marines, Army Corps of Engineers, etc.

I realize that this is very short notice, but we should make our presence known.  How shall we let others know about the immorality and disregard for human life exhibited by these (mentioned) companies?  How shall we tell students that careers in such organizations come at a high moral cost?

To see a full listing of past EXPO participants go to EXPO's website:

To see listings for the top US defense contractors, go to the Center for Defense Information: <http://www.cdi.org/issues/usmi/complex/contractors.html>.

Also, any other information regarding the fair would be greatly appreciated.
