Hello All, You should have all received the email advertising the IEEE @ VU Grad School Expose´ event on Friday, April 4, 2003 @ 12:30pm in Tolentine 305. We are excited to have a diverse panel that should be able to address a wide range of grad school issues. The panelists and their "focus areas" are listed below. We'd like to have each panelist give a few minute intro to their respective topics, even talking on their own experiences, in an effort to lay the groundwork for questions from the audience. Beyond that, we're going to rely on a combination of the audience, the moderators, and the panelists themselves to keep conversation flowing for about an hour. Should be quite informative! Dr. Kevin Buckley - Professor, Villanova University TOPIC: Graduate Research/Teaching Programs Dr. Julia Bukowski - Professor, Villanova University TOPIC: International Graduate Education Dr. Edward McAssey - Associate Dean for Academic Affairs, Villanova University TOPIC: 5-Year Programs & The Importance of Graduate Education David Mennerich - Part-Time Graduate Student at UPenn via Engineering Leadership Development Program, Lockheed Martin Management & Data Systems TOPIC: Corporate-Sponsored Part-Time Grad School Outside of Villanova Jason Zola - Full-Time Graduate Student, Villanova University TOPIC: Why full-time grad school? Why Villanova? That should do it! Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions. Thanks in advance to our panelists. Sean T.
