June 1: ‘A good time to be a student’

The Eastern Washington section of the American Ceramic Society (ACerS), in collaboration with Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and WSU is hosting a student webinar, “Why is Now a Good Time to Be a Student?”

This free 90‑minute webinar, which includes five 15‑minute presentations and a 15‑minute round table discussion, will be presented on Wednesday, June 1, at 11 a.m.

The goal is to provide students with an overview of opportunities available at various venues. Five presenters from different backgrounds will share their experience and discuss several comprehensive, career-building undergraduate and graduate internship opportunities, including numerous examples for different areas of research.

Presenters include Yolanda Natividad, ACerS staff liaison; Josef Matyáš, materials scientist at PNNL, John McCloy, professor in the WSU School of Mechanical and Materials Engineering; Marisela Linares-Mendoza, Science and Engineering Education Consultant, PNNL; and José Marcial, PNNL scientist.

Interested students can register online. The Eastern Washington section of ACerS will award 20 complimentary Global Graduate Researcher Network memberships to the first 20 graduate or doctoral students who register.
