Professional Development Programming

We are offering a number of professional development opportunities at SIMID this summer.  On Monday and Wednesday nights, students and instructors are invited to attend a networking mixer. This is a great opportunity for participants to interact and debrief with instructors and each other. Light snacks and beverages will be provided. There will also be an opportunity to give a poster presentation. 

During Tuesday and Thursday lunches, students are invited to attend optional professional development programming. These will be roundtable discussions with featured speakers.  Some days have 2-3 concurrent sessions and students are able to select one session to attend.
