Where are they now? What are they doing? The GrasPods Alumni Network aims to connect current students and post-doctoral fellows at the BCCRC to members who have worked here in the past. Our alumni have gone on to pursue different successful career paths. Current GrasPods members will have the chance to seek out mentoring opportunities and to get a glimpse of what awaits them after the BCCRC. But this program is more than just a simple career network. All participating alumni can look forward to invitations as guest speakers in our "Jobs in Science Interview Series" and other seminar series, as well as participating in social events. In addition, alumni will receive our e-newsletters and hot-off-the-press publication records.
