[] Thank you to our Corporate Sponsors! https://www.cnf.cornell.edu/events/nys_nano/2024 On Friday, Sept 27th, RIT will host the New York State Nanotechnology Network (NNN) Symposium geared toward connecting NYS undergraduate and graduate students with our NYS industry partners for the purpose of learning about and discussing "Growing the Semiconductor Workforce." The day will include a morning session with student, government, and industry talks, and an afternoon Poster Session & Career Fair! The goal of this Career Fair-themed symposium is to showcase the NYS student workforce talent pipeline and to bring together universities and industries to exchange information and to present technology research activities in and around NYS. Come and network with us. Find the great employees you were looking to hire -- or find your dream job! This event also coincides with the IEEE EDS Activities in Western New York Conference, marking the 44th event!
