Nominate a grad-hosted speaker!
Past speakers have spent 1-2 days in the department and have also been involved with the grad symposium providing grads ample opportunity to spend time with them.
Suggestions are welcome for both academic and non-academic speakers. Speakers may discuss their career and/or teach skills/workshops related to topics which may include (but are not limited to) science communication, project management, science policy, etc.
If you wish to nominate someone please email Leslie Saunders with their name, contact information, and a brief paragraph on what they do, their interests, and why they would be a good grad hosted speaker.
Nominations will be open for the next ~3 weeks (until June 20th), followed by a vote.
