Greetings from Graduate Students Club,

Re: Professional Development Seminar Series

“No matter what you plan on doing in your career, you will not be doing it alone. Whether you are in industry or academia, you must be able to explain your ideas, share your knowledge, and guide your team’s decision making…”

We are pleased to announce Dr. Patrick Littlejohn as the speaker of the upcoming seminar in the professional development series. Dr. Littlejohn completed his BASc and MASc in UBC Material Engineering and earned his PhD at the University of Queensland, Australia, in Chemical Engineering in 2013.
