Boundless Brilliance

08/01/2025

We're excited to announce that the Occidental College Boundless Brilliance chapter will be hosting a STEM Career Fair on campus for Occidental undergrads on Saturday, October 4th from 12-3pm.

The Career Fair is intended to both introduce Occidental undergrads to what careers and graduate school in STEM look like and offer students opportunities for internships, post-grad jobs, and mentorship.

We’re looking for panelists for our graduate school and industry panels and individuals interested in hosting booths with information about their graduate program, experience, or company and networking with undergrads.

Please fill our registration form if you're interested in participating as part of a company (https://lnkd.in/gdvCpkbi) or graduate program (https://lnkd.in/guszDHzA) and we'll be in touch to discuss details.

If you have any questions about the event, feel free to reach out to Lily ([email protected]) and Azi ([email protected]).

We hope to see you there!
