The Career Fair is a great opportunity at colleges to find companies wither looking to hire you or give you an internship. The cool thing about Iowa State's career fair is that it is the largest indoor engineering career fair in the country! It's crazy but a lot of fun!Supplemental Instruction (SI)
Supplemental Instruction is something that college's offer for classes that are seen as hard such as calculus. These sessions are a great way to improve your understanding of the material and succeed in the class.
