The Spring 2018 Career Fair held this past February at NJIT’s new Wellness and Events Center (WEC) was alumna Whitney Randolph’s first time back on campus since she graduated from the university with a bachelor’s degree in biomedical engineering in 2017. The reason for her visit was not to look for a job, but rather to find job candidates, as a recruiter for her employer, Getinge. Randolph is a production engineer at the global medical technology company.

Success in a Snapshot: Jaasrini Vellore*, a biomedical engineering student who specializes in biomaterials, was honored at the 2018 NCE Salute to Excellence as the Madame Mau Outstanding Female Engineering Student. Although she’s a junior, Vellore’s accomplishments – from a 3.96 GPA, to a key role mentoring freshmen in her department, to research on a longstanding problem with hearing aids, to hospital internships – wowed the committee nonetheless.
