Pharmaceutical Sciences GSA ~ 13th Annual Pharmaceutical Sciences Distinguished Alumni Symposium
2017-05-02 | Kapoor Hall, Buffalo, NY, United States
The “13th Annual Pharmaceutical Sciences Distinguished Alumni Symposium” is an all-day event in which graduate students have the opportunity to meet with a prominent alumna/alumnus from the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences. This year we are pleased to announce Dr. Holly Kimko as the distinguished alumna. Dr. Kimko is a Scientific Director and Janssen Fellow at Janssen Research and Development of Johnson & Johnson from the Global Clinical Pharmacology Department. During this all-day event, graduate students will be invited to engage in a career development lunch with the keynote speaker, as well as have the opportunity to meet Dr. Kimko one-on-one to discuss research, network, and learn about opportunities in the pharmaceutical industry. The day-long event will conclude with a keynote speech from Dr. Kimko entitled “How Does Modeling & Simulation Support Totality of Evidence for Regulatory Decisions?’ The keynote speech will be of interest to a variety of disciplines including, but not limited to Biological Sciences, Pharmacy, RPCI, Pharmacology & Toxicology, Chemistry and Chemical Engineering. We firmly believe that providing graduate students with the opportunity to meet a distinguished alumna will enhance their graduate student experience and inspire them to strive for similar success. A detailed description of the event will be advertised appropriately such that any interested person at the university might benefit from the event. The GSA will be visibly acknowledged as a cosponsor of the event.

After a provided lunch, a schedule of students and faculty will be able to present brief descriptions of their current projects or research topics about earthquake engineering. As a final event, tours of the University at Buffalo Structural Engineering and Earthquake Simulation Laboratory (SEESL) will be held to showcase current research projects for interested students and faculty.

Social Sciences and Humanities Interdisciplinary Symposium
2017-05-12 16:00 - 19:00 | 103 Jacobs Management Center, Buffalo, 14260, United States
On Friday, May 12th from 4-7pm we will be hosting the 4th annual Interdisciplinary Social Science and Humanities Symposium. This year it is based on forming collaborative research projects with graduate students on social and environmental issues in the Buffalo region, such as drinking water quality and income inequality in our community. Dinner will be provided, and there will be a keynote panel consisting of professors from several departments. After the panel, there will be a roundtable session connecting students from different disciplines that have similar research interests.
Graduate students at any stage in the process should definitely come. Even if you are just thinking through your thesis or dissertation idea, it is never too early to work with other researchers on collaborative projects, or hear about what students in other disciplines are studying. Plus, the keynote panel will be a great source of information.
Take a look at the description below, and please sign up! There is just a short google form that you need to fill out to RSVP: http://goo.gl/forms/0Gmmra0SJ8
Let us know if you have any questions (zhasmina@buffalo.edu), and I hope to see you there!
