General Information

Speaker meetings generally take place on Tuesday and Thursday nights, starting approximately at 6:00 PM. Food and drinks are provided free of charge.The sponsoring organization typically begins with an educational topic related to the construction industry and then presents a company overview. Food and beverages are served at the end of the hour. Before or after the presentation companies may sign up students for interviews or give away company marketing paraphernalia (t-shirts, caps, coffee cups, etc) either directly or through a raffle.

Purpose

Your company receives valuable name recognition and exposure to students. Company philosophy, focus and atmosphere can be communicated allowing the opportunity for students to have a meaningful experience. Many students decide which companies they will interview with based on their experience at these meetings. 

Students benefit by socializing with peers as well as the company presenters. Socializing with students provides opportunities to improve communication skills which are vital to their and ultimately your company’s success after graduation. Socializing with company representatives allows students to network and become more comfortable with potential interviewers.

Presenter Information

Any organization related to construction is invited to sponsor an AGC speaker meeting. A minimum required contribution of $400 to the OSU AGC student chapter and a presentation of a pertinent topic by one or more company employees. AGC provides the food, drinks, TV / VCR / Slide Projector and meeting promotion. The minimum $400 contribution is used by the AGC Student Chapter to provide food and drinks at the speaker meetings and also to support other AGC activities. Organizations are encouraged to bring company marketing paraphernalia (t-shirts, caps, coffee cups) to give away either directly or via a free raffle after the meeting. Please be prepared with an educational topic, it is the key to a successful and memorable speaker meeting.
