Relevant excerpt from the OCF News Page for 2/2/2000:

  • Wednesday, Feb 2nd, 2000, 17:52. Today was our OCF/CollegeHire.com startup jobs fair. The event ran from 12 to 4pm in Pauley Ballroom, and was not without birthing difficulties. Overall the fair was a success. Prizes were won, pizza was eaten in volume (over 150 large boxes of FatSlice and WestCoast). Many startups had or were run by Cal grads, which was nice. The fair is over now and save for the New Lab (which this fair is in part funding), Devin and Ken can now relax a bit. After all, they are no longer OCF's General Managers (Stephen M is now OCF GM, since Monday January 31st's general meeting and elections -- we still need a Secretary of PR and General Secretary though!!).

    A huge thank-you to everyone who helped out with the fair~~~!!

    • Post-fair information.

    We raised a lot of money for our new computer lab, to be built under Pauley Ballroom in MLK, overlooking Bancroft and Telegraph Avenues.

    We are guessing (for now) that over 400 students came, that over 40 companies were represented, and that over 100 large pizzas were consumed.

    A few photos from the fair are available for your perusal.
