The most influential moment for me was sitting at the Awards Banquet table and watching such inspirational women and men receive awards for the amazing things they've done to pay it forward and help women succeed in the STEM field! It's just amazing that those people were once like me, a simple student, struggling to make their way. I feel inspired to be like them one day! The theme of this conference was Reach Out to Reach Up, and those are words to live by.
-At the career fair I learned about so many opportunities for a materials engineer in the work place. Even compared to the last National Conference there was a significant increase in material science positions. That made me so excited, and I spoke with many recruiters and applied for so many positions.
-Networking with other colligates and professionals was the best part of the conference. Just the fact that a professional well into her career could attend the same conference as a colligate trying to get into her career is relatable. It shrinks the distance I feel between a professional and a colligate. Plus I got so many career tips and advice from the professionals and tips from colligates about running a successful SWE section.
-UNT has been amazing preparing me for this conference. The school sponsored my conference ticket and travel through the USPDF and professors would give me tips on a successful conference.
This conference was amazing and I am thankful for all those that helped make this amazing especially UNT.
