The Industrial Associates (IA) Program’s semi-annual meetings offer IA members, faculty, and students alike prime opportunities to connect. Over the course of two or three days each fall and each spring (with a company’s degree of participation depending upon their membership tier), great minds of the optics industry convene to:
- Learn about faculty and student research
- Present talks on industry expertise and initiatives
- Discuss the latest optical technologies
- Review student posters and current projects
- Network with prospective employers/employees
- Learn more about industry leaders
- Interview students from optics and other related engineering departments
- Attend our Company Connection Showcase
- Re-connect with Institute of Optics alumni
- Take personal lab tours (upon request)
