We are a small software company who, like everyone else, is looking
for UNIX/C programmers. Since there are not hordes of these types
beating down our doors looking for jobs, we are trying other methods
of recruiting to keep growing at our planned rate. One method we are
going to try this spring is college recruiting. Since we are not IBM
or HP and don't want to visit 500 different institutions, we would like
to concentrate our limited efforts at about a dozen schools in the
East/Northeast/Midwest that have good BS/MS programs in Computer Science
and provide student access and experience to UNIX systems with
(hopefully) experience in C.
I'd be interested in anyone's opinions as to which schools would fit
this need. Thanks,
Richard Stevens

I realize you did not mention the West as one of your areas of recruiting, but all students at UCSD graduating in Computer Science or Engineering have experience in Unix and C. Harry Snyder

Thanks, >> >> Richard Stevens >> Health Systems International, New Haven, CT >> ihnp4 ! hsi ! stevens Cornell University, Ithaca, New York has what I consider to be a "good" Computer Science program, in both BS and MS. The Electrical Engineering school also turns out some pretty good programmers... There are many courses taught in "C" on unix systems, ranging from a Practicum in Operating Systems to Computer Image Processing. Their Career Center is also quite receptive to recruiting companies, and provides an easy interface to the graduating students. They can be reached at (607) 256-5006 from 9 to 5pm. --MAC @ Cornell EE.

We have just installed VAXen running 4.2bsd (at the beginning of the fall semester). Most of the graduates here are familiar with UNIX. About half of them probably fit into your category of "UNIX/C programmer" Good Luck with the hunt.

I'm a student from New Mexico (currently on co-op) and both New Mexico State University (Yea...) and the University of New Mexico (Boo...) use UNIX in their course work. Graduating students should have a basic working knowledge of both UNIX and C programming, amoung others.
