Highlights from the 2008 Annual Workshop

 

Monday, March 3 through Wednesday, March 5

 

 

 

All Optical Sciences Industrial Affiliates were invited to participate in our 2008 Workshop. 

 

The purpose of the annual workshop is to facilitate the gathering of students, faculty and industry where we highlight significant and interesting research projects while also creating an environment of idea exchange and professional interaction.

 

We proudly showcase the talents of our graduate and undergraduate students who conduct presentations which are overseen and led by their accomplished professors and advisors. Within this context we solicit input from our industry partners about how we can better serve our students in preparing them for careers in optics, discuss how we might improve our academic program to serve the growing demand of industry, and seek feedback on how to improve the benefits of the workshop.

 

New this year:  An Affiliates Table Top Showcase, organized for the evening of Monday, March 3, was pronounced a "roaring success" by participants. 

 

Student interviews and company presentations: 

A record number of companies remained at Optical Sciences after the close of the Workshop to interview prospective employees and/or present company information to students approaching graduation.
