Industry Science Symposium
About the event
The EschLEAD Program invites you!
This event gives WSU undergraduates the opportunity to meet and interact with professionals working across the biotech industry, including drug development, regulatory affairs, and scientific sales. Speakers will share how they built their careers, what their work looks like day-to-day, and practical advice for students interested in entering these fields.
Students will have the chance to connect directly with speakers, ask questions, and learn how to position themselves for internships and jobs in biotech. Light refreshments will be provided, and prizes will be raffled off after each talk!
