Highlighting Internships in Life Sciences

Posted on by
There are a number of internship opportunities from the Life Sciences industry that have recently closed and not filled and there are some additional opportunities still open/pending. The number of applications have been very low for many of these.
In most cases, these internships are open to students without a bio/life sciences background. There are some very interesting projects, in some cases reporting to the CEO. These opportunities would also give you exposure to working in small, fast growth technology based companies.
In other words, this is great experience for a summer internship, even if you don’t have long term interest in this industry. I want to encourage you to apply to these live opportunities if you see a fit with your skill set.

Trek Calgary – if interested, please express interest

Posted on by

We are seriously exploring a change in the timing of Trek Calgary from November to the end of August. Our initial reach out to companies indicates that the timing would work for them. We are looking at August 25-26 as our first choice. Benefits to a change include:

  • Two days vs 1 day of programming
  • More time for you to stay, make connections etc.
  • August timing more in line with recruitment cycles of bigger companies

We have not created a schedule yet. A rough agenda would include:

  • Scheduled meetings at companies
  • Time for you to have your own meetings
  • An alumni networking event

The way Trek Calgary works is students apply and those who are selected and participate will receive a $300 subsidy to partially off-set the cost of your trip. Trek Calgary includes MBAs, MMs and BComs.

Calgary and Edmonton are growing, vibrant markets. If Trek Calgary is of potential interest to you as described above, please send an email to Carly with a deadline of Tuesday morning, April 22 indicating that you are interested. We will do a more formal application later. For now, we want to gauge the level of interest. Thank you.
