This networking reception will bring together the UMass Chan community to celebrate the many diverse career paths that PhD scientists pursue. Joining us are alumni and regional professionals, many of whom have contributed to cBCD’s BEST programs in various ways.
Attend this special event to:

- Expand your professional network (alumni and other professionals will be here to meet you!)
