Ask Us Anything

Panelists answering students' questions

Have you ever struggled with critical professional growth questions? Perhaps you’ve wondered:

  • How would an internship influence my graduation timeline?
  • What should I choose as a career: academia, industry, government?
  • How do I approach a prospective employer?

If you have such questions and would like to ask for advice from senior MTT-S members, we’ve got you covered!

The “Ask Us Anything” workshop series is coming to a smaller MTT-S-sponsored conference near you! Please attend and get your questions answered.
