The Engineers Employed Series or better known as E2 Series, was created by the College of Engineering to ensure that students majoring in engineering, computer science, and data science at the University of Arkansas will be better prepared to enter the workforce.

Calling all game night and trivia lovers! Join us on November 8th to compete with your friends in a fun twist to trivia night while joining forces with Walmart reps.

The night wouldn't be complete without great food, amazing prizes, and exclusive networking opportunities that could lead to a full-time career or internship. In previous years, we handed out over $1000 in Walmart gift cards, and played trivia with 100+ U of A students.
