GRADUATES OF THE LAST DECADE (GOLD): Your Career and Networking with IEEE Electron Devices Society AdCom Members Come join us on Sunday evening, December 14, 5:00-7:00 p.m. in the at the Hilton San Francisco Hotel for a free EDS sponsored, career development strategy session, especially designed for graduate students and young professionals, who are Graduates of the Last Decade (GOLD). The session includes a seminar on career development strategies in today’s globally competitive world and a panel discussion focusing on career options and career path selection with expert panelists from academia, research, design, development and manufacturing and will be followed by a golden opportunity for you to meet with EDS Officers and Administrative Committee (AdCom) members at a special networking session. Establishing a network with successful EDS AdCom members and enjoying some of the other key EDS benefits (e.g., online access to ED Letters and Transactions and the IEDM proceedings) are some of the primary reasons for joining EDS.

Mary Ann Bopp, Manager for Career Development at IBM, will present a seminar entitled Career Development: Imagine the Possibilities. She will talk about how to approach career development, whether you are tenured in your profession and want to continue to grow in your field of expertise, or you want to change your career path but don't know how to start, or you're fresh out of college and are just beginning your career journey. The discussion will include how to use mentoring as a means to developing your career, no matter whether you work in a small company or large corporation. Leveraging many relationships throughout your career is instrumental in helping you progress along a career path; develop new expertise and skills or just using a network to "socialize" within the company. For additional details on this EDS sponsored GOLD event, please contact EDS GOLD representative, Dr. Ravi Todi at rtodi@ieee.org
