I'm Fresia Jackson, a current graduate student at UB.
This is a reminder that the SIOP conference is coming up April 23-25 in Philadelphia. The conference changes coasts every year, with 2016 being in Anaheim, CA. Therefore, if you were planning to go next year, don't put it off! The SIOP conference is an amazing opportunity to meet peers in our field, stay up to date with research, network with potential employers and attend student workshops. Additionally, I will be planning an event for UB students and alumni.
Here's what you need to do:
Join SIOP! Joining as a student is half price ($50).
If you have a LinkedIn account, please join the University of Baltimore I/O Students and Alumni group. If you don't have a LinkedIn account, what are you waiting for? LinkedIn is an incredible resource for getting your name out there and networking. Furthermore, I will be using the group to organize the event.
Register for the conference.
Dr. Mitchell said there are ways to get travel expenses and the registration fee covered by the school if you give a short presentation about something you learned at the conference. I will be looking into that further.
If you have any questions or difficulties, don't hesitate to contact me at [log in to unmask].
Sincerely,
Fresia
