Student Conference Career Fair
The AMS student conference is intended for junior and senior undergraduates and all graduate students, and will focus on interdisciplinary topics and wide-ranging opportunities in the atmospheric and related sciences. Sessions include invited speakers from the private, academic, and government sectors. A Career Fair and networking evening is scheduled to provide a forum for students to personally interact with professionals who represent potential employers and graduate institutions.
Unidata will be at table 21 at the Career Fair, which runs from Saturday, January 21 - Monday, January 23. Program Center staff will be on hand to discuss how Unidata products can help students in their education, forecasting, and research. Come visit us!
