2008 Fall Workshop

 

Wednesday, October 8 and Thursday, October 9

 

The Workshop


Activities


Presentations

With the goal of complementing our traditional spring workshop, the first-ever fall workshop was planned to facilitate learning opportunities, discussions, and informal interaction between OSC students and Industrial Affiliate companies.  The agenda debuted some new events and retained many events that were familiar to Affiliates through our spring workshops.

 

Day one of the workshop offered us an opportunity to showcase the talents of our graduate and undergraduate students who conducted presentations and solicited questions, comments, and -- in the case of our seniors who presented plans for their two-semester capstone projects -- real-world advice and suggestions from the Affiliate representatives.  In addition to OSC building and laboratory tours, our guests were invited to tour our collection of antique and historic optical instruments, which opened to the public just a few weeks ago.  The agenda also included many opportunities for our Affiliates to get together informally with our students at lunch, coffee breaks, a student poster session, and an informal supper party.

 

Fall 2008 Industrial Affiliate Workshop ParticipantsOn the morning of day two, Industrial Affiliate companies set up information tables in our lobby and chatted informally with prospective graduates over coffee and refreshments.  The workshop concluded later that day with tours of the mirror lab, formal employment interviews, and individually arranged meetings with students and faculty members.

 

Affiliates, thank you for attending -- we hope to see you all again at our next workshop in the spring.
