LOCATION: The Career Center (Atkins Annex)
Join us for the Biotechnology Coffee & Careers event, a unique opportunity for students interested in the biotechnology field to connect with professionals and gain valuable industry insights. In partnership with the Department of Biological Sciences, this event is designed to help students learn about the wide range of career paths available in biotechnology and the specific skills and experiences needed to thrive in the field. Attendees will have the chance to engage in meaningful discussions with experts from various sectors, gaining a deeper understanding of the industry’s opportunities and challenges. This is a networking event focused on career exploration, not recruitment, offering students a valuable chance to build connections and enhance their knowledge of biotechnology.
