Events

Women in Tech Symposium: The New Era in Human-Computer Interaction 

Friday, March 12, 2021 | 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM

Registration for the Women in Tech Initiative at the University of California’s flagship event closes next Wednesday, March 10. This year’s symposium will examine leading-edge technologies and challenges to ensuring equitable and inclusive human-computer interaction (HCI).

As mentioned in Lauren's email, Jacobs will have an info booth at the symposium's Career Fair from 4-6pm, but there will be many other interesting panels and discussions early in the day as well.

Register now.

RGB Design Webinar

SAT 3/13, 1PM-4PM PT

Reach, Grow, and Build your design career at RGB 2021! Please register via Eventbrite: http://tinyurl.com/RGB-SP21

RGB will be hosted on March 13th, and will provide students with the opportunity to listen to industry professionals discuss their careers. RGB 2021 will be a virtual event, and we'll be joined by speakers whose careers have taken them to Spotify, the New York Times, and beyond! Each speaker will have a 40 minute talk and will be available for a networking "office hour" session at the end of the event. The event Zoom link will be sent out to participants the day before the event.
