Welcome to the U of T campus. We are glad you made it here, to learn and have fun.

But excitement and enthusiasm aside, we understand that the transition from high school to university can be tough, (we've been there too ya know!) and that's why we are here to help you. So, if you think you could use some pointers on how to manage your time, how to find help when you really need or even just the shortest route to the new food joint, you are more than welcomed to join the ECE Student Peer Mentorship Program as a frosh.

Hyperconnectivity: each person is connected to the network in significantly more than one way.

Telecom is an important part of modern society. In 2006, estimates placed the telecommunication industry's revenue at $1.2 trillion or just under 3% of the gross world product. Each year, hundreds of U of T Engineering Grads join the telecom work force.

Kelley Kanellakis, Stategy and Operations Leader from Nortel's CTO office, is going to present Hyperconnectivity to you. Please join us to learn about this exciting phenomena and about the technology that Nortel is developing that will enable the next generation of communications.

Anyone interested in a career in the telecommunications industry should not miss this! If you are not an electrical engineer, this would be a great chance for you to get familiar with this trillion dollar industry.

Bring a copy of your resume for potential intern/full-time opportunities.

LUNCH will be provided. Please RSVP below so we can prepare your food.
