For those of you working in industry, academia or government, I am excited to share that we are having a one-of-a-kind event just for you! As always, we strive to find ways to assist and engage you, and this special event is just one way we're working to do so.
Please join us and other industry peers for light bites and drinks at our "Not My Deadline Industry Networking Event!" The event will be held at The Local Newton, a popular bar and restaurant in West Newton on Thursday, March 14.
