Join us at the Career Center for a panel where early-career industry leaders from top life sciences will share their stories of success and how they overcame challenges to follow their chosen career path. They will provide you with feedback on how to pursue your immediate and long-term career goals, and make suggestions regarding the professional development needed to gain a competitive edge along the way.

After the panel, you’ll have a chance to network one-on-one with the panelists and will have the opportunity to learn more and ask for advice. This is an opportunity to make lasting connections that can impact your career.

Please come prepared with questions for the panelists. Pizza will be provided. This free event is open to all undergraduate and graduate students.

**First come, first serve; registration does not guarantee admittance. It is highly recommended that you arrive early to this event.**
