Are you curious about how AI is changing work across multiple fields and how you, as a graduate student, can prepare for these changes in the workplace? Join us on April 11 for a career panel and networking event to learn from panelists on how AI is being used in their industry and in their day-to-day work. The first hour will be a Q&A discussion, with an opportunity to network with the panelists (and your peers!) in the second hour. Bring your own snacks and a reusable water bottle - there is a water station just down the hall.  

Submit questions ahead of time via the registration form. These questions will be used during the audience Q&A portion of the panel. If you wish to submit questions for the panelists, please submit your registration by April 11th. 

Please note: this event is for graduate students (Masters, PhD and Post Doc).
