With over 40 employers hosting events between September 3 and September 22, 2025, we collected enough prizes to recognize 14 lucky student winners!
The winners were randomly selected from all Career Fest attendees and notified to visit Career Services to claim their prizes.

One of the largest and strongest student organizations we have on campus is our Society of Women Engineers (SWE) – Michigan Tech.
For over six decades, SWE has given women engineers a unique place and voice within the engineering industry. SWE is centered around a passion for our members’ success and continues to evolve with the challenges and opportunities reflected in today’s exciting engineering and technology specialties.
Every year, corporate sponsorship helps ensure that these students get to strive toward advancing their goals of Intergrity, Respect, Mutual Support, and Professional Excellence.
To help recognize these sponsors, a new Collection has been created in Handshake to highlight jobs available at these companies. Please use the Society of Women Engineers (SWE) Supporters collection as a way to get your job search started.
We’re pleased to share a new feature on our Career Services website — an interactive chart that displays the number of jobs currently approved in our Handshake database!
