Proposed
2010 Annual Meeting's special session topics include:
Student Alert!!! This year
we are adding a ‘career speed dating’ segment to the meeting on
Thursday. Three attendees, from government, industry, and
academia, will give brief overviews of the positives and negatives of
their respective career settings during the last 20 minutes of the morning
session. This will be immediately followed by our buffet lunch
where there will be tables of different ‘flavors of careers’ identified
by colored tags. Students can rotate between tables to ask people
in those sectors specific questions.
Rewards!!
NAC SETAC stainless steel eco-friendly coffee mug will be awarded to all
students who complete a short survey to
provide questions for our panel to address. This survey will be
emailed to you following your registration to our meeting.
