Student Conference Career Resource and Graduate School 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 Resource 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 T-51 at the Career Resource Fair, which runs from 5:30 - 7:30pm Saturday, January 27 and 6:30 - 8:30pm Sunday, January 28 in Exhibit Hall D. Program Center staff will be on hand to discuss our summer internship opportunities and how Unidata products can help students in their education, forecasting, and research. Come visit us!
Student Conference Workshop(s)!
Following up on previous successful student conference workshops, we're holding two in-person workshops this year. If you're participating in the Student Conference, you can join either:
- Session 10C: Unidata Python Workshop (room 336)
