Mentoring and Network Session

Farvolden Day starts off in the late morning with a “speed dating” style Mentorship and Networking period for sponsors/potential employers and students to get to know one another, discuss research activities and explore potential employment opportunities. It is a great opportunity to learn about current research topics and to meet our present graduate student cohort. A light lunch will be provided to all participants. If you are interested in participating please email Lorraine Albrechtfor further details.
