Tea with Fahima

On Wed, October 27, Fahima shared with us her experience with the Imagine Cup competition, including her team's national finals in Washington, D.C. Her team, LifeCode, has been working on the project that "aims to combat diseases through a tele-health data-capture and analysis platform, with the potential to track patient vital signs and profiles in remote, urban, rural and developing areas."

There are two articles about the team available online: one at http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/features/2010/apr10/04-20LifeCode.mspx and the other at http://media.wayne.edu/2010/04/09/wayne-state-university-students-selected-as-finalists

Career Prep Series Panel

Tuesday, September 21, 2010
3:00pm Rm. 110 Purdy-Kresge Library
Job fairs, conferences, and other research and technical events have one thing in common - they all constitute the first point of contact among interested parties: employers and job/internship seekers, established researchers and Ph.D. students, experienced industry representatives and less experienced newcomers. Given the nature of such events - the short amount of time and the great number of participants - it is important to understand how to network and what makes a person stand out among others. This panel, consisting of academic and industry representatives from the greater Detroit area, will discuss the importance and techniques involved in networking and speed interviewing skills.
