Hello, Anteaters. š„ Ready for an amazing networking evening with your fellow Anteaters? We got just the event for you.
A2i would like to invite you all to a special evening event at the conclusion of the 3rd Annual Industry Immersion Conference, as part of our Accelerate to Industry program, presented by the Connor Family.
This Thursday, July 16, there will be a Career Mixer hosted from 5:00 to 7:00 PM at the UC Irvine Division of Continuing Education patio, and we would love for you to join.
The conference is built around something many PhD students quietly struggle withāthe confidence to imagine themselves in industry, the awareness of the opportunities available, and the guidance to navigate the transition from academia to a professional career. Your willingness to share your time and experience at the Career Mixer sends a powerful message to our students that they belong in the industry and that there are people ready to welcome and support them as they make that transition.
The evening will bring together approximately 100 PhD students from a wide range of disciplines, along with industry professionals, UCI staff, and alumni. Showing up and engaging with our students would be truly meaningful and impactful, and the conversations that happen at events like this can genuinely change the trajectory of a student's career.
If you are able to join us, please take a moment to complete this RSVP form at https://forms.gle/2J1CYTxRSRajxmmu5 to confirm your attendance by noon on Wednesday, July 15 (the sign-up link will be available in the Highlights section).
Parking, food, and drinks will be provided.
We hope to see you on July 16. Thank you so much for considering this invitation!
