Biographical / Historical
The society was founded in 1976 by a group of students interested in their post university careers and keen to participate, as students, in industry and commerce. They ran a speaker programme featuring representatives from a variety of industrial backgrounds; provided networking and work shadowing opportunities; liaised with large corporate graduate recruiters; and acted as a source of information about job opportunities.
