The program is a one day series of talks from several women in academia and industry. It includes a panel discussion on advice for students at the beginning of their careers. This will take the form of an Ask-Me-Anything (AMA) style session where the audience can ask the panel members any relevant questions. There will be a poster session over the lunch break for eveyone for networking and voting for the best poster.
