Early Career Professionals’ Network (ECPN)
The Early Career Professionals’ Network is a group designed to help recent graduates, soon to be graduates, or anyone newly entering the field of analytics/O.R. to build their professional networks and learn the practicalities of working in the field from experienced practitioners. The ECPN Workshop takes place the morning of Sunday, April 3 and was created to reflect the fact that analytics work in the real world is challenging in ways that aren’t always taught in analytics and O.R. degree programs.
2022 Career Fair
Taking place all day on Sunday, April 3, the Career Fair is a great place to meet and chat with recruiters hiring for a number of positions and industries.
