2019-2020 GCC Mid-Atlantic Regional Meeting at University of Pennsylvania
1/9/2020 - 1/10/2020Event Description
Hello Mid-Atlantic GCC Members!
We look forward to welcoming you to the University of Pennsylvania for the 2020 Mid-Atlantic GCC Regional Meeting! The meeting will be held January 9-10, 2020 in (hopefully not snowy) Philadelphia. With a thematic focus on the intersection between technology and communication, this meeting offers great opportunities for you to learn and take away new skills and approaches as you advise graduate students and postdocs on your campuses. We hope that the opportunity for professional development, and the significant and enjoyable benefit of networking with your GCC peers, will encourage you to participate. We are also going to try something a little different, and a lot creative, with the traditional Show and Tell – find out more here: https://youtu.be/UhrgHJj8zD4.
