The complete address for Silicon Graphics is:

	Silicon Graphics, Inc.
	2011 Shoreline Boulevard
	Mountain View, CA 94039-7311
	(415) 960-1980

Silicon Graphics has both a college recruiting program and a summer student
program.  Check with your on-campus recruiting services to see if Silicon
Graphics is coming to your campus.  Inquiries/resume's can be sent to the
above address about positions.  Include an "Attn: Human Resources" in the
address to ensure proper routing.

I was hired through on-campus recruiting at U.C. Davis about 2 1/2 years
ago for an engineering position and have participated in on-campus recruiting
at Davis since I came aboard.  I've also done some interviewing of applicants.
Here are some things you can do as an undergraduate student that will increase
your chances of a position at Silicon Graphics (and probably other companies
involved in computer graphics on workstations for that matter :^) :

	Take the graphics courses offered at your school.

	Do independent projects involving 3D graphics, image processing,
	user interface.

	Learn UN*X.  I don't mean just vi, ls, cd, et cetera.  I mean
	some system aspect of it.

	Get programming experience using an IRIS.  Becoming an ace dog
	pilot is not a prerequisite :^).

	Learn more about CS than your courses have to offer.  Student hires
	are usually highly self motivated and come in with more than just
	classroom knowledge.

	Attend SIGGRAPH if you can.  This will give you an idea of what
	Computer Graphics, Silicon Graphics, and applications developed
	for the Silicon Graphics IRIS are all about.

	Be willing to work in an area not directly related to computer
	graphics.  Most of the work done by engineers at Silicon Graphics
	is NOT graphics application development.  However, a significant
	portion of engineers have a love of computer graphics and do
	their own spare time graphics work.

	And, on top of all that, do well in your course work.  Get not just
	good grades but gain an understanding of the material.

Hope this helps.  Happy job hunting.
