"Throughout my undergraduate program, I've been very involved in the national SME chapter and my campuses chapter as well. I've loved beginning to network with other manufacturing professionals around the country in many different industries. Knowing that I was strongly considering applying to your openings here at Northrop Grumman, it seems like the AIA and ICCAIA would be great places to start getting new information from. Are there any others you would recommend?"
