[GWAMIT] GWAMIT- Professional Development/Career Events and Opportunities next week!

[GWAMIT]

Hello GW at MIT members!

Happy Friday! We have a couple professional development/career events coming up next week as well as some other opportunities at MIT that we thought you'd find interesting (see below!). We're in the process of planning our General Board Meeting (GBM) for later in October so look out for the date! As always, you'll get to hear more about GWAMIT, meet women across departments including our GWAMIT department reps, and get free dinner!

Also as we said in the newsletter, we're considering creating a REFS group specifically for GWAMIT(resources for easing friction and stress). Some departments have groups (dREFS) and there is also an institute wide program iREFS. You can check it out here<http://gsc.mit.edu/committees/hca/irefs/>. Please fill out this questionnaire<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1Yv3jN7sk7ZAwjIX3GFh5eV1uSOnrG_TTLOiO29LodQE/edit> so we can see if there's an interest in a GWAMIT group.

Have a great weekend!

Join Lam Research’s ‘Women’s Networking Breakfast’ hosted by GW at MIT! Meet Lam employees and learn more about career opportunities and life at Lam.

Lam Research is one of the world’s most trusted suppliers in the semiconductor equipment industry, transforming technology daily. Lam creates equipment that allows chipmakers to build device features more than 1,000 times smaller than a grain of sand. This tiny scale has a huge impact. Virtually every leading-edge chip inside the electronic products you use every day (TVs, smartphones, laptops, cars—even medical devices) has been made using Lam’s equipment.

Open to all departments and all students!

Fun fact: Lam was founded by Dr. David Lam, an MIT alum himself, and is the second largest manufacturer in the Bay Area, after Tesla!

Limited spots, hurry up and register!
