A panel of industry professionals will be assembled to talk about applying for jobs and preparing for interviews as well as providing information on the backgrounds and skills they seek in their future employees.”

The Festival of Research will feature remarks from Wright State President Sue Edwards, Ph.D., Provost Amy Thompson, Ph.D., and Madhavi Kadakia, Ph.D., vice provost for research and innovation, and entertainment during Café CoSM by graduate chemistry student Avianna Gay and chemistry and music major Ben Kressbach.

The Office of Research and Sponsored Programs will have a table with up-to-date information for faculty who are preparing grant submissions and other information on ways the office supports research and innovation at Wright State.

The festival is free and open to the public. Registration is not required.
