Join us for this term's first BUGS ProfTalk featuring the Department of Biology's Dr. Heidi Engelhardt!
Dr. Engelhardt will be talking about biology career paths and how the courses you select in your undergrad can help shape what you go on to do.
The talk will be followed by a question and answer period and free donuts and drinks!
More than 30 science alumni working in traditional and non-traditional science careers will come together to share their career stories and answer questions about your future.
This career event will be informal and move quickly—like speed dating—with an opportunity to speak to science graduates individually or in small groups.
