By CSUPERB Newsletter • Issue #45 • View online

Hello! Oi!

I hope you had a wonderful, safe holiday break.

SYMPOSIUM

https://www.csuperb.org/symposium/registration/

CSUPERB has switched the 33rd Annual CSU Biotechnology Symposium to a virtual format. Registration is open to all CSU and California Community College (CCC) faculty, staff, administrators and students at no cost. The registration process only takes a few minutes…if you haven’t already, go ahead and complete it now. Registration closes December 15, 2020 at 5PM.

If you are a faculty member, please share this with your students. This could be an incredible opportunity for a student to consider the possibilities that exist in biotechnology and be inspired by their poster-presenting peers to engage in research.
