Networking Huddles
Now in its third year of symposium iteration, Networking Huddles are small-group networking opportunities with structured rotations for PhD students and postdoctoral fellows to meet with alumni and employers for 15 minutes at a time. These Huddles have previously been very successful and a meaningful personal experience for attendees.
Below we will feature a list of Huddle participants currently committed to attending. Check back frequently to see who else you can expect to see that afternoon!
