L@s GANAS Research Day

The L@s GANAS Research day will bring together L@s GANAS Research Fellows, and UIC undergraduates who are interested or currently conducting independent research in natural and physical sciences for a day of professional development. We will have guest speakers, workshops (mock interviews, how to plan for graduate school, how to be an effective pre-med student, job search, etc), a career panel over lunch, and end in a poster session.

This it the first annual research day, so you don't want to miss out. Make sure you register today!
