Networking event at 麻豆影视 offers opportunity to make connections, get career advice

麻豆影视 Connects: A Life Sciences Networking event, sponsored by Novo Nordisk, offers students and alumni from Life Sciences, Biological Sciences, Clinical Trials, Building, Engineering and Skilled Trades programs such as Industrial Systems and Information Technology, opportunities to make connections and get career advice from industry professionals. 

Novo Nordisk, the event sponsor, was joined by representatives from several companies in the region who wanted to share their experience and expertise. This is the second networking event Novo Nordisk has sponsored in collaboration with 麻豆影视. 

As participants rotated through stations, they had time to ask questions about various careers, get advice on how to enter the field and share information about themselves.  

麻豆影视 alumni Madelyn Spencer and Michael Grant were the featured speakers who gave snapshots about their academic training and careers. 

鈥淚鈥檓 sure we鈥檙e all here for different reasons,鈥 said Grant, a quality control technician at Novo Nordisk. "But one that is likely a commonality among all of us is a desire to start or add on to a meaningful career, improve the lives of others and afford you all the lifestyle that you want.鈥
