Got invited to a D.E shaw recruiting event

So I am a rising junior at a target university and I recently got invited to a D.E. Shaw recruiting event. I simply wanted to inquire about the firm because I’ve read and heard that the firm is more of a quant fund than a fundamental hedge fund. I am a finance major so I am not a quantitative person. Does D.E. shaw accept non-quant traders and analyst or is there investment strategy solely a quantitative approach? Thanks.

If you're talking about their event at the museum in NYC I'm pretty sure it's just something they're sending out to everyone that applied or along the lines of that.. I've gotten the email and so have some friends of mine (target as well). Wonder if anyone knows more
