“The Bowersox Symposium was such a rewarding experience! The conversations and networking I engaged in at the Symposium have shaped my personal approach to 'all things academic' to this day! The way I go about doing research, teaching, service activities and industry partnering are all inspired by insights that I gained during my Symposium experience. It's truly a few days of activities that are career-impacting.”
